Or do you mean the plant never loses the variegation? Here in Hawaii, Epipremnum aureum in the naturalized state always retains the pattern of the cultivar 'Aureum', never reverting to all green. Also, by variegation, do you only mean a broken pattern, as in the aforementioned example, or do you mean any contrasting color pattern? Because as we know, there are species in which contrasting veins (Philodendron gloriosum) or dots (Zantedeschia aethiopica) are the norm. The last-named is tuberous, as are Caladiums.
