Mature leaves divide into a long central lobe and several slender side lobes, their green surface broken by cream, pale yellow and lime marbling. Because the pattern changes from leaf to leaf, one may remain mostly green while the next carries broad pale sections across several lobes.
Early foliage is simpler and only lightly divided. As the vine advances upward, later leaves become more intricately cut, with reddish, rough-textured stalks visible beneath the patchwork canopy.
