Hello planty friends :) I have a variegated alocasia ‘Morocco’ ( pink dragon) here that is pushing out an all green leaf with no variegation. Any tips on how to restore the variegation? I’ve heard cutting the green leaves can work, but I’m not sure if it works for alocasia’s . I’m not sure if it needs higher light, but she is directly under a grow light , it’s a few feet above on the ceiling .

I believe the lighter green is variegation. You may need to up the light of you want it to be more variegated. I’ve also heard you can it back done to promote more variegation
