The leaves are large, oval-shaped, and have a unique, intricate pattern. The upper side of the leaf is a vibrant green with dark green to black veining and a silvery sheen that creates a peacock-like effect. The leaves are adorned with a series of eye-catching, contrasting stripes and spots. The undersides of the leaves are a rich, deep purple or reddish-brown, adding a touch of color that contrasts beautifully with the top surface.
