📌 Note: Variegation is a natural phenomenon and may vary significantly from one specimen to another or between the leaves of the same plant. New leaves may have a different pattern from mature ones, while the cream-white sections are more sensitive to bright light and dryness. Following handling, transport, or adaptation to new environmental conditions, the leaves may show aesthetic imperfections (scratches, bends, or other superficial marks) without affecting the plant's health or development.
