# Variegated burle marxs started putting out all white leaves so I cut…

_Pubblicato da Becca il 2026-05-04_

Variegated burle marxs started putting out all white leaves so I cut it to promote green growth. The new shoot sprouted out the white side of the stem and is an all white sprout! 🙄  
Any recommendations on what I should do next?

Its variegated, it will have different colors. People pay good money for that feature

Right, but when there is no chlorophyll the plant dies. A waste of good money.

All you can do is wait it out to see what it’ll look like. Give it a chance to pop a few leaves. If it keeps giving all white you may just have to cut further down next time
