From cuprea it takes the metallic, iridescent sheen and a burgundy reverse; from micholitziana the velvet texture. The signature is the venation: bright lime-to-gold 'bone' veins running across a deep green, softly undulating shield leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe 'Pink Mint' is the variegated form, carrying two expressions at once — soft mint-green and cream marbling alongside pink, blush and rose sectors over the dark blade. Both are irregular and unpredictable, different on every leaf. The mint is chlorophyll-reduced and the pink is pigment-based, so heavily variegated leaves are more delicate and lean on the green to carry the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===== THIS SPECIMEN — edit per girl ===== --\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\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 Visible pink and mint across current growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acclimated and ready to ship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6; color: #6b2d5c;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne specimen.
