The plant features dark, velvety foliage with golden yellow variegation that is genetically stable and unique to each leaf. It is a compact grower, typically reaching around 25 to 35 cm in height, forming a tight rosette of thick, leathery leaves on short petioles. Native to the forests of Borneo, this species naturally favours high humidity, bright indirect light and fast draining substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe recommended growing method is semi hydro (pon), which suits this plant well given its preference for airy root conditions and consistent moisture without waterlogging. A chunky aroid mix is the next best option. Avoid keeping the roots sitting in water. Feed lightly with a diluted balanced fertiliser during the growing season and reduce watering over winter, as this species can enter a period of dormancy. Humidity of 60% or above is ideal. Keep temperatures above 15°C and avoid cold draughts. This plant is toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe exact plant shown in the photo is the one you will receive.

The Lemon variegated form displays irregular splashes of lemon yellow and soft green across the foliage, with each leaf producing a unique pattern.

Avoid direct sunlight, as the variegated portions of the leaves are particularly sensitive to scorching. Semi hydroponics is the recommended growing method for best results, with a well draining aroid mix as a suitable alternative. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every two to four weeks during the growing season, and reduce feeding over autumn and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePlease note this plant is toxic if ingested.
