I don't even know where to start with the write-up for this one, but here we go, I'll give it my best shot. But - they are better in real life than any photo will ever do justice.
The mottled variegation on this one is stable. Unlike its famous counterpart, you will never end up with an all-white leaf. The colouring varies from a very deep dark green to yellow and the variegation varies from the smallest spot to a large splash!
They are known to be slower growers, but if you provide it with the correct growing conditions you can be sure that this one will soon reward you with a beautiful new leaf. Infant leaves are heart-shaped, and the fenestration will start kicking in around leave 3 or 4.
These specimens have hard leathery leaves.
Our plants originate from Thailand. They have been growing in an environment where the temperature varies between 20 to 27 degrees C. The humidity varies between 60% and 70% and they receive bright indirect light. For your plant to thrive you should try to mimic these conditions.

Plants are delivered in nursery pots. We try our utmost to deliver a plant that looks similar to the one pictured - remember that no two plants look the same.
These plants endure massive shock when being transported, we acclimate and recover them before selling, but you are likely to find some dead roots if you remove the plants from the growing media, this is normal. We do not remove them from the growing media before shipping to check the roots for obvious reasons, but a plant that is growing happily for more than a month will keep on doing so unless there are drastic changes.
DO NOT repot this plant for at least 1 month after receiving it, the plant will go into shock again and reset the acclimation/recovery process, which can lead to death or an exceptionally long waiting time for new growth.
We look after our fellow planties, as many of our customers can attest to, if you experience problems with your plant, contact us, we will always assist.
