It stays compact and corm-forming, leaves held tight above a short base. Introduced to the market around 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe albo is true white sectoring — clean cream-white marbling and splashes over the dark velvet, different on every leaf, and known to throw soft pink under strong light. Because white tissue carries no chlorophyll, those sectors are more delicate, and the velvet surface marks easily — this is a jewel for careful hands.\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 2\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 Low — subtle, minimal sectoring on 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.
