This variant of Emblemantha urnulata we call “Veinless Fluo”, because it’s dark leaves are almost veinless except highly pronounced main vein with beginning of secondary veins in the center of each leaf which can be pink (purple) or yellow. Some plants have higher tendency to show more yellow colour, so we offer them as “Veinless Fluo YELLOW” (this plant) and some show more pink colour – it is “Veinless Fluo Pink” subform. But please note that under certain conditions they can be very similar to each other.

Description

Emblemantha urnulata “Veinless Fluo Yellow” is a particular form of so-called Ardisia sp. Sumatra / Jambi or Labisia sp. Riau – all these names are synonyms of the same, extremely variable and colourful plant which the correct name is (but not widely confirmed yet) Emblemantha urnulata. It is great, medium-sized (usually up to around 30 cm tall and across) rare species for terrarium / vivarium. It is quite robust and easy to grow plant which tolerates wide range of conditions. But please note: depending on the conditions they can change or lose some colours if they are not appropriate (for example: if you put this yellow variant under very strong light it can get pinkish (but turning pink will be much harder than in the case of pink subform).
