It takes the metallic, coppery sheen and pale silver-white veining from cuprea, and the shaped, wavy-margined shield leaf with pronounced lobes from sanderiana, over a burgundy reverse. Upright, rhizomatous and vigorous once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe 'Aurea' is the golden-variegated form — warm yellow-to-gold sectoring over the metallic blade, chlorophyll-reduced and irregular, different on every leaf. The green still carries the plant, so the gold is the feature and the variegation to protect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 26px;\"\u003eThis specimen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage:\u003c\/strong\u003e juvenile, corm-grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariegation:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-grade golden aurea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inner pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mother plant shown in the photos.
