I've been trying to research the reasons for the mottled patterns. Other plants have similiar patterns.

I wonder if its like a plant version of frekles? a more random spread of chlorophyll throughout the leaves. They do prefer shade, which im sure has something to do with it, as climber plants that grow up trees have such patterns.

I shall look into it, if anyone knows anything please post
