This variety is noted for its corrugated leaves and attractive reddish-pink vines, offering ornamental appeal alongside its ease of care. A favoured choice for bright interiors and collectors alike, it is an epiphytic species adapted to dappled forest canopies in Southeast Asia.
Distinctive Features
