Growing Requirements

Will tolerate full sun but best results are obtained when the plant is given some protection.

Characteristics

Mid green heavily marked with a flat reddish brown. In the cooler months the newer foliage is cream heavily marked with light red. The petioles are red marked with cream or green. The margins of the medium size fairly narrow leaves are moderately undulated. The tips are pointed. The outer edges usually turn up (at times rolling in towards the midrib). The newer foliage is held fairly erect.
