The species is a vigorous hemiepiphyte from tropical America and the variegated forms are prized by collectors for their ornamental contrast and variable patterning. Variegation is often unstable and can revert to all-green growth if light or cultural conditions are suboptimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light; \u003cstrong\u003estrong but diffused\u003c\/strong\u003e light helps preserve variegation.
