The word can be interchanged into Tong Fang, which also means Far East. They named it as TONG HONG since the word described it came from the Far East, Philippines. This cultivar is distinguished from other cultivars of Scindapsus pictus like ‘Exotica’ because of its display of yellow variegation on its leaf blades. The Variegation of the plant that emerges in leaves are light yellow at first. The variegation of the leaf will become bright yellow once the leaf becomes mature and has produced its initial aerial roots.
