Anyone have suggestions for slowing/preventing the browning of the white parts of leaves?  
I’ve got a white knight who’s healthy otherwise, but I’m now sad to see leaves pop out with any white patches because I know they’ll just go brown

White variegations don’t automatically go brown. Brown patches indicate something is out of balance. It could be inconsistent watering, low water, low light, low fertilizer, or pests. You have to start by checking for too dry roots/soil or root rot. Check for root bound conditions. Ensure the lighting conditions fit the plant’s needs. Check or adjust each variable one at a time to see if the plant improves. It takes time.
