Similar to the famous \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"166\"\u003eMonstera dubia\u003c\/i\u003e, this species is also a \"shingle plant\" (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"213\"\u003eShingle Plant\u003c\/i\u003e) and a true queen of transformations. In its juvenile phase, it grows straight upwards, with its leaves lying completely flat and pressed tightly against the tree support, literally resembling green shingle armor. However, this 'Marble Aurea' variety is a top luxury-class rarity – its firm leaves are luxuriously and unevenly illuminated with bold, marble-like bright yellow (Aurea), cream, and lime green variegation. Only when the plant climbs high enough and reaches maturity will it undergo a dramatic transformation and start producing huge, deeply split leaves. Currently, it is a 20 cm young plant in a 10.5 cm pot, which comes \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"849\"\u003ewith its climbing board\u003c\/b\u003e.
