Peacock plant leaves are 10-12 cm (4-5 in.) long and up to 7 cm (2.75 in.) wide. The leaves have a pale green hue with dark green, feather-like patterns along the veins and edges. New leaves exhibit pinkish-red undersides. The upper surface showcases a papery-thin texture with distinct venation; the underside has a dark purplish-red repeating pattern. The leaves are erect, alternate, simple, and ovate in shape, with long slender petioles sheathing at the base.
Peacock plant's flowers are small and typically white, often appearing in pairs. Each flower consists of purple lobes and is nestled within green bracts that are spirally arranged along the inflorescence. Although usually insignificant and rarely seen on houseplants, these flowers add a delicate touch when they do bloom. The flowers lack a notable scent and generally do not exceed 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) in diameter. They may bloom sporadically throughout the year under optimal conditions.
The stem of peacock plant is short, erect, and can be either aerial or rhizomatous. It is slender, with a smooth texture and a light green hue. Typically, it measures around 0.5-1 inch (1-2.5 cm) in diameter. The stem is unbranched and distinctly marked by nodes, where leaves emerge. Its rhizomatous nature indicates an underground portion that helps in vegetative propagation.
