Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this plant so expensive?
Its rarity and the difficulty of maintaining stable variegation make it highly valuable.

Will the white variegation stay?
Yes, with proper light. Low light can lead to greener growth or loss of contrast.

Can it revert to green?

Why do white parts turn brown?
White sections lack chlorophyll and are more sensitive to light, water, and humidity stress.

Is it suitable for beginners?
Best suited to intermediate plant owners due to its care sensitivity.

Can it be propagated?
Yes, via stem cuttings with at least one node.
