Ledebouria Petiolata (formerly Drimiopsis Maculata) originates in East and South East Africa. Its deep green foliage is marked with brown to black spots, which appear more vivid when exposed to bright light. During the winter, this semi-succulent may go into a dormant state and shed its leaves. It can handle light frost, yet extended freezing temperatures are not well tolerated.
