The plant is admired for its thick glossy leaves with an intense metallic blue to steel toned sheen and pronounced veining. In the Aurea form the reflective foliage is accented by warm golden yellow variegation that appears as marbling and soft patches across the leaf surface. The combination of cool metallic tones and luminous gold creates a striking and highly refined contrast. Each leaf develops unique patterns making this plant a prized collector specimen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"978\"\u003eDue to the instability of aurea variegation and the naturally slow growth associated with metallic leaf types this plant performs best in controlled indoor environments with stable conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"786\" data-end=\"978\"\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.
