Appearance

Each plant carries large, oval-shaped leaves with distinctive patterning across shades of green, cream, and white. No two plants are identical, making each one a unique addition to a bioactive or planted terrarium.

Important — Toxicity

This plant is toxic if ingested. It should only be used in enclosures where the occupants are known not to consume live plant material. Always research suitability for your specific species before introducing any live plant.
