This cultivar belongs to the Aroid family (Araceae), derived from species native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. In its natural environment, this species grows as an epiphyte, using aerial roots to anchor itself and climb up trees. The chartreuse foliage color is a genetic variation that causes a lower level of chlorophyll compared to the wild green form. It is a highly resilient indoor vine known for its air-purifying qualities.
