📌 Note: The coloration and distribution of the light-colored areas may vary naturally from one leaf to another and from one plant to another. New leaves may have a different pattern from mature ones, and the intensity of the shades may be influenced by light and growing conditions.

Because they are thick and rigid, the leaves may have small scratches, scars, dry tips, or minor cosmetic imperfections resulting from growth, handling, or transport. These usually do not affect the plant's viability.
