Hi I'm looking for a varigated Xanthosoma sagittifolium, but I'm don't want the krinkley leafed one called mickey mouse.
Is there a plant out there like the one I'm looking for?

Thanks

Yes, there is, and I own it.
But I have to tell you that it may not be worth your while.
The white portions of the leaves tend to burn easily, even in adequate shade.

I can't trade it to you, because I don't trade plants to CA (or TX, LA, AZ, or HI) from FL due to Agricultural laws. But it does exist, and you may be able to locate one somewhere.

How warm does it get in your area. I have the variegated xan and like bohai, the heat bothers the white portion. I get many days in the 90s from May - October. If you are cooler in the summer (Northern Cali coast), you may be able to grow it. LMK if interested.
