Gosh Bihai, I don't have the Yellow Splash but my friend does and hers has great variegation. Makes you wonder if it's one of those awful plants that too far down the line will lose the variegation. I have a stuttgart canna, I have no doubt it's genuine, but no variegation- I'm hoping it's pups will have. I have heard that it does that- puts out some tubers that are just the green plant. :-(
Good luck with yours!

Bihai,
Both too much nitrogen and too low a light level can cause Yellow Splash to lose its variegation but the variegation will return when this is corrected. Plants will be smaller but have the best color when grown lean. The green runners are genetically identical to the variegated ones and should develop variegated leaves if you don't over feed them.

I have Xanthosoma saggitifolia variegata and has produced little growth for me. Even though I live in Zone 10 (Miami, FL) Where the climate is perfect for growing aroids. I have had it for almost 2 years, I realize that the growth will be somewhat slower due to the variegation but this guy really likes to take his time. I even tried planting it in the ground to see if it would "take off" but it has still been a real slow grower. Hows yours doing???

Keiko2,
I am growing one in my natural bog (read standing water after Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne) and it is in full sun and never gets any fertilizer and it has the variegation on perhaps 75% of the leaves.

The other is in full sun in a container in a container pond and never gets fertilized either and has NO variegation

The third is in half day sun and DOES get fertilized and also has no variegation. I will quit fertilizing that one and see what happens! Thanks!

etropicals, I only got my variegated X's about a month ago, 3 small plants, but one has already produced an additional 3 offsets and more than doubled in size and had to be stepped up from a 1 gal to a 3 gal container. I think I will keep them containerized over the winter and perhaps plant one out next spring. This plant seems pretty rare, do you know where it originaled from? Is it a natural variegation or did someone hybridize it?
