Cercestis mirabilis
Cercestis mirabilis is one of the most unusual climbing aroids available in cultivation. Native to West African rainforests, it produces stunning silver-patterned leaves that dramatically change shape as the plant matures.
Juvenile leaves begin as simple shapes, but once the plant climbs and matures they develop dramatic splits and elongated lobes.
In the wild this plant climbs trees in search of light, using aerial roots to anchor itself to bark.
Interesting fact: The silver patterning is thought to help reflect excess light and regulate leaf temperature in tropical environments.
Care tips:
Provide a moss pole or support to encourage mature leaf development.
Bright indirect light.
Keep soil lightly moist with good drainage.
