You can’t really make her pinkish, usually the colors that it started with will retain or enhance overtime. The pink color could be variation or sun stress

Thank you replying. I brought her with 4 leave which were pink glitter looking. Now the basal leaves are coming in trying to see if they turn pink overtime but again I’m still studying this plant . I have it under a grow light for 14 hours in a Akerbar cabinet.

It seems then the plant is not retaining the pinkness, but I’m hopeful since it has history of stronger pigment the next leaves will be pinker! Good luck
