so actually I keep seeing the aureas and other varieties on Facebook plant pages and everyone is obsessing over getting one and all I ever did was sit and stare at a photo wondering why its so sought after when they look so diseased and sick, lol. I never voiced this thinking I was alone.

I always hear that the variegation is unstable, which is fine, but not worth the price or gamble.

I’d pay money for a good micans aurea . My understanding is that that’s all a pink micans is yet sunstressed. And I’m not too sure I’d pay money for something intentionally done harm to, if that makes sense

This looks way different from the ones I’ve seen and even the halo variety? This one looks very unhealthy or like a regular one with dead leaves.
Genetics are fickle like that I guess.

Just looks like a sick plant, never understood why people want these.

I was just thinking about this today from the same image. It looks horrible. The only way I’d pay money is it we’re growing nice and full in a hanging basket. Everyone know P. micans is nicest when it’s a full pot.

Maybe some people buy them hoping their care will make it thrive… and look less diseased…
