The name means \"rough\" — a nod to its thick, leathery, almost succulent blades. They are ovate-sagittate, matte and non-glossy, grey-green to purple-toned, with darker veins. The petioles carry the detail: irregular purple-brown dots, rings and broken lines. A highly variable species that builds into a broad, architectural plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe albo is true white sectoring — irregular creamy-white over that matte blade, different on every leaf. Because white tissue carries no chlorophyll, those sectors are more delicate: slower to harden, quicker to brown, and unforgiving of overwatering.\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 \/ sub-mature]\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\u003eStrong\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.
