The species is admired for its thick heavily textured leaves with a matte blue green to grey surface and deep sculptural veining that gives the foliage a stone like appearance. In the Albo Variegata form the rugged leaf surface is contrasted by irregular patches and marbling of crisp white to creamy variegation creating a striking balance between softness and structure. Each leaf develops unique patterns making this plant a highly sought after collector specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"776\" data-end=\"969\"\u003eDue to the rarity of stable variegation and the naturally slow growth of the species this plant performs best in controlled indoor environments where stable conditions support long term health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"776\" data-end=\"969\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eUse code \u003cstrong\u003ePre26\u003c\/strong\u003e at check out to pay \u003cstrong\u003e50%\u003c\/strong\u003e now and \u003cstrong\u003e50%\u003c\/strong\u003e on delivery.
