About
Snake Scale Tricolor layers cream, mint, and silver variegated patches on top of the plain cultivar's distinctive raised, reptile-scale leaf texture, breaking up the scale pattern with genuine colour variation rather than leaving it a solid tone. The combination of tactile relief texture and multi-tone variegation makes it one of the more visually complex Scindapsus in current circulation. As with any chimeric sport, variegation coverage and colour balance vary from cutting to cutting.
