Its defining feature is the dramatically elongated, curling, fang-like drip tip that gives the cultivar its name, paired with shield-shaped leaves that mature to a pale, matte silvery-green finish with softly undulating margins, raised venation, and a lightly puckered surface. Unusually, the foliage lightens with maturity rather than darkening. Grows upright from a rhizomatous base and requires no support; subject to the dormancy typical of the genus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright indirect light brings out the best matte silver finish; in lower light the plant grows but the characteristic coloration dims.
