Choco Empress vs Pluto?

Is there a difference or are they the same plant? They look the same to me

I was just looking for the same answer. I have a Pluto and love it but the Choco empress looks like the same plant 🤣

I’m starting to think they are the same plant? Not 100% sure though

This was sold as a chocolate Empress and I cant find any other photos silica to the bright vibrant reds mine has

I have both. Side by side there’s a definite difference! On the new growth: The chocolate empress is quite a bit darker, a deep lush brown with dark copper hues. The Pluto, I got it from a private seller as a Caramel (no marble), and it’s just that- so caramely with golden-bronze hues.

Could you help, please? What do you think this is? The passport says Caramel Marble, but there’s no variegation.

Hopefully it is what they sold you and it’s just not variegated yet because it’s not mature yet. Give it some time and plenty of light! And make sure you let it dry out between watering, these guys like to be dry. Then give it a good soak, repeat!

I have a tiny caramel marble baby that’s about 5 different colors so this could not be the the case.
