In the wild, it grows in the jungles of Malaysia and Thailand, where it is famous for its unusual symbiosis with ants (it forms dense, dome-shaped leaf nests). 'Mitrata' stands out with very distinctive, thick, bare, and slightly curved leaves that have a pronounced, textured surface. This 'Splash' version is especially desirable – its dark green leaves are generously and beautifully decorated with silvery white spots and \"summer freckles\" that shimmer beautifully in the light. Like other wax flowers, it is an air-purifying and long-lasting \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"653\"\u003evine\u003c\/b\u003e that will eventually form a unique, sculptural shape and happily climb up a provided support.
