Dear Vincent=2C
There is no mention of ''natural'' variegation in Dracontium amazonense in the literature I have. =3B We are left with three possibilities of which I can think ---
1) Your treatment w/ chemicals has caused this condition.
2) This variegation has spontainuosly developed in your plant.
3) =3B Your plant has become infected w/ ''Dasheen mosiac virus"=2C very common in MANY genera of cultivated aroids=2C it slowly weakens the infected plant over time. =3B =3B No cure=2C and infected plants if confirmed should be burnt. =3B It is spread by sucking insects such as Aphids.
Good Growing=2C

I have a small Dracontium amazonense that has a variegated leaf At first I thought it was white spots that were either damage or disease. But now that the leaf is bigger=2C it looks to be variegated for sure. I still could be wrong but I think not. It could be the result of mu hormone experiments but I was not trying to induce variegation as I do not know how. Inducing variegation seems to be a closely guarded secret. At any rate=2C I do not think I could duplicate it. I was trying to increase tuber growth actually.
But then again=2C maybe I did not induce this. So my question to the experts is: Is this common for this spp to be variegated?
