Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray green cross banding and usually range from 7090 centimetres (2. 33. 0 ft) long and 56 centimetres (2. 02. 4 in) wide, though it can reach heights above 2 m (6 ft) in optimal conditions.[3] The

It is an evergreen perennial plant forming dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping rhizome, which is sometimes above ground, sometimes underground. Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding and usually range from 70–90 centimetres (2.3–3.0 ft) long and 5–6 centimetres (2.0–2.4 in) wide, though it can reach heights above 2 m (6 ft) in optimal conditions.^[3]

The specific epithet trifasciata means "three bundles".

The plant exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide using the crassulacean acid metabolism process, which allows them to withstand drought. The microscopic pores on the plant's leaves, called the stomata and used to exchange gases, are opened only at night to prevent water from escaping via evaporation in the hot sun.
