Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight' Albo

Trade listings distinguish this Albo break of Moonlight specifically from the base Moonlight Variegated cultivar already catalogued, often appearing with a half-moon sectoral pattern. Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight' Albo shares the same underlying form and growth habit as Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight Variegated' (thick, elongated lanceolate leaves on climbing with aerial roots, compact upright when supported growth), with crisp, often half-moon-patterned white sectoral variegation over the thick, satin-silver moonlight leaf, a further colour break beyond the cultivar's own cream-white marbling.
