Earth star exhibits a radiant rosette of tooth-edged, prostrate leaves spanning roughly 6 inches (15 cm) in width, characterized by their wavy texture and distinctive, whitish, zebra-like bands. The leaves are notably sturdy, subtly hinting at their familial ties to the robust pineapple. Sessile, white flowers sporadically emerge directly from the heart of the rosette, reminiscent of twinkling stars clustered in the center. This foliage's color palette may fade if subjected to overly bright light, emphasizing its preference for ambient, indirect illumination.
