Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of a spontaneous natural mutation. The plant is characterized by a moderate growth rate and, in indoor conditions, reaches a height of 30 to 90 cm, depending on the container volume and growing conditions.

The main feature of the variety is its color-changing leaves: young blades appear bright yellow or cream, gradually acquiring a deep green color as chlorophyll accumulates. The plant maintains an upright growth habit without the use of supports.

The variety possesses high drought tolerance due to the ability of the tubers to store moisture, tolerates low air humidity, and adapts to different lighting conditions, although it prefers bright, indirect light. It propagates vegetatively by cuttings or division of tubers.
