# My syngonium white butterfly used to have these beautiful leaves with…

_Posted by Bon Tastic on 2025-02-28_

My syngonium white butterfly used to have these beautiful leaves with a deep green through them and for the last while has been putting out pale single toned leaves. She's thriving and doing well but I am curious if I can get that colouring back

With the white butterfly I think it gets greener as each single leaf matures. They'll eventually turn green, it just takes a long time

It’s also a sign that she’s very happy with how much light she’s receiving! Often plants get deeper green when they are trying to attract more light since they are not getting enough!

So hypothetically you could give her less although I’d definitely not recommend it
