De bladeren bevatten een soort was waarmee je je schoenneuzen kunt oppoetsen.

Winterhard, dus altijd groene bladeren, al liggen ze er wat slordig bij naar de smaak van sommige tuiniers.

The leaves contain a kind of wax so you can use a one of those real big leaves to shine your shoes, that is why in Dutch this plant is called "Schoenlappersplant"; Shoemakersplant.

The leaves of this plant are greean all year round.
