Its heart-shaped leaves start off pale and darken as they grow and the stems can reach as high as 8 to 10 inches at maturity. The leaves have a shining, velvety appearance that makes them almost change colour in light. The petioles (fancy word for stalk) of the Verrucosum have a fuzzy hairy exterior that just adds to the mystique of this showstopper. Higher humidity is advised for the best results, if you see crispy browning leaves there's a high chance you need to increase your humidity by placing a pebbly tray underneath or a mister near the plant.
