The variegated form overlays this with cream, white, or pale green sectors and marbling, each leaf uniquely patterned against the silvery ground. A climbing hemiepiphyte that develops larger, more sword-like leaves as it matures on a support. Variegation is unpredictable across successive leaves and slower-growing than the standard form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright indirect light is essential for maintaining the variegation and the silvery-blue coloration; insufficient light causes reversion, while direct sun scorches the lighter sectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chunky, well-draining aroid mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir; excellent drainage essential.
