Variegated plants have long been popular due to their crisp cream and / or white marble-like patterns adding delightful and distinctive interest to a houseplant’s foliage. Variegation in leaf colour occurs due to the lack of green pigment chlorophyll in some plant cells, as a result of cell mutation.
