Jani:

There are several other variegated aroids that haven't been mentioned.
The most stable that we have grown is the Peltandra virginica with a
narrow white edge. Pinellia tripartita 'Dragon Tails' is fairly
unstable, but some of our seedlings are nearly solid gold and have been
stable for several years. The pinstripe-type arisaemas aren't exactly
variegated, but the highlighted silver vein effect is the same. There
is also an Alocasia cucculata with a nice yellow edge that we have grown
for years and now a new one is hitting the trade from Thailand with a
golden center. Alocasia odora 'Okinawa Silver' is an unstable
variegation pattern, but the pattern doesn't disappear. Ditto, the
speckled A. 'Portadora'. The variegated Zantedeschia aethiopica
'Pershore Fantasia' holds for few years, but after that there is more
green than variegated. I'm sure that there are more on the way.
