    The leaves on this plant change color throughout the life of the leaf. In a good clone, the leaves will start out bright yellow with slight green mottling. As the leaf matures, it will gradually accumulate more and darker green mottling. By the time the leaf is old, it will be mostly green. Don't ever buy a 'Painted Lady' unless you can see the bright new leaves on the plant being sold or on the seller's stock plant; some poor clones will never show the bright yellow on the new leaves.
