Scindapsus pictus 'Mayari'

Mayari is a Filipino-origin mutation of Scindapsus pictus notable for how stable its variegation is compared to many chimeric Scindapsus sports. Creamy half-moon shapes and sectoral spots sit reliably over the species' characteristic silver-dashed dark green blade, generation after generation. The base silver dashing (a genuine iridescence, not painted-on variegation) remains visible in the green areas even where the cream sectoring covers part of the leaf, giving Mayari real depth compared to flatter variegation patterns.

Variegation

StableVariegation that is genetically locked, meaning new leaves will reliably display the variegation pattern. creamy half-moon shapes and sectoral spots overlaying a silver-dashed dark green blade, more consistent generation to generation than typical chimericVariegation caused by a cell mutation. Often produces high contrast but can be unstable and revert to all-green. Scindapsus variegation
