Debbie that was why I started this post last year. If you read the beginning I posted the pics of each one I have picked up and purchased. There are so many with the same name I was wondering if anyone else had this experience. I like the thin leaf one best because it seems to have more color.
Cheryl, I think the plant does best with bog conditions at least that has been my experience. Heat and sun is not the problem but it must stay moist or it goes down fast. I learn that lesson the hard way because I do not water plants.
When they are indoors in the winter they are lucky to get one drink all winter. As I said the only way I have been able to keep it alive and happy is to grow it in a pot without drainage holes and I plant it with moisture beads.
I use to see the solid green one in Florida planted in the shade but in areas that were bog like conditions. I would see it planted with their Ginger plants which like the same type conditions of moist and shade. I do not remember seeing it in Hawaii.
