The color breaks and feathering along the veins suggest a virus, possibly dasheen mosaic virus or maybe some other calocasia and alocacia virus. It affects members of the aroid family that xanthosoma, an ornamental aroid, is part of. If you have other members of this family nearby, they should be isolated. If you touch the leaf, don't touch the other plants or you can transmit the disease from wounds or by insects. If it is a virus, there is no cure.
