Identifying a Variegated Houseplant: Description Needed

Many plants have green leaves with white centers. To identify yours and provide care, I need more detail:

  • Leaf shape (oval, lance, heart, strap)?
  • Stem type: number, length, thickness, vine or cane?
  • Variegation pattern: stripes, blotches, margin, center?
  • Overall height and spread?
  • Any flowers or distinctive features?

Common Candidates

  • Dieffenbachia (dumb cane)
  • Aglaonema (Chinese evergreen)
  • Dracaena 'Warneckei' or 'Lemon Lime'
  • Philodendron 'Brasil' or 'Rio'
  • Pothos 'Marble Queen' or 'N'Joy'
  • Calathea 'White Fusion'

Email a photo to wcreed@HorticulturalHelp.com for definitive ID and tailored care. Yellowing leaves suggest light/water issues regardless of species.
