Variety description

10 August 2026

Evergreen plant with a dense crown and elegant weeping branches. The oval-shaped leaves reach 50–100 mm in length and up to 45 mm in width. A distinctive feature is the variegation: the leaf blade has a grayish-green or bright green base color with a pronounced white, cream, or yellowish margin along the edge.

Under indoor conditions, the variety is trained as a bush or tree, including standard forms and "twist". The plant height varies from 0.9 m to 3 m. The plant is characterized as relatively slow-growing and light-loving, requiring bright diffused light to maintain color intensity and consistent watering without moisture stagnation.

The variety is sensitive to sudden changes in growing conditions, such as temperature fluctuations, drafts, or irregularities in the watering regime, which may cause leaf drop. Some breeding lines were selected to improve resistance to leaf drop during relocation.
