Wow! Looks like it is infected with the Rosanervig virus like so many variegated plants we have in the market now.

Kind of, we do found Cordata Rosanervig in the wild, it may not be a stranger to everyone now a day.

Hi Joshua,

Is the variegation stable? As in does it slowly disappear when you cultivate it? I collected a variegated C. pontederiifolia previously but the newer leaves slowly showed less and less of the variegation traits.

Picture below showing the cultivated version of this plant, all leaves are newly grown. I have no idea if the veins will disappear in the future.

Like many Rosanervig infected plants, it shows the symptoms better in certain growth forms (emersed vs submersed).

Right. For this species, growing them emerge and brighter environment is ideal.
