(2010) General Description The walisongo plant has leaves that grow in a finger-like arrangement on the main stem. The leaves are thick and green, either glossy or variegated in appearance. The leaf shapes vary and may be wavy, narrow, oval, pointed, or resemble cassava leaves. A distinctive characteristic of the walisongo plant is the large number of leaves that form a circular pattern resembling the shape of a handprint. Its stems are curved and do not grow straight because they are supported by several other stems, creating a clustered combination of multiple stems that form a clump-like structure.
