An interesting cultivar of white-splashed leaves. The leaves are nearly circular, 5-10 cm in diameter, green with irregular white colouring on the margins and/or green-white marble pattern on the rest of the leaf. The edges are serrated and set on long petioles. It climbs by aerial roots, reaching 4-6 m height (0.5-1 m annual growth rate). It is frost hardy, undemanding disease and pest resistant. Prefers acidic soils, moist but not water-logged. Thrives in semi-shaded  spots.

The plant is particularly useful as a cover plant for low fences or rocks, also grows well by tree trunks and walls. It beautifully brightens up darker parts of a garden.
