Looks good to me! Do you know much about bromelaids? I have one that was burgundy and green with white spots. I planted it in a pot and it turned solid green and lost its spots! 😩

Exactly like that!

It gets all day bright indirect light. It started loosing color when I had it outside so I brought it in thinking maybe it was getting too much. But it turned green and never went back. 🤷‍♂️

What kind of window is it in now? (I’d recommend putting it right in front of a south facing window, or under a bright grow light). I have no idea what would cause this otherwise.
