Anyone know why the new leaves on my Albo are coming in more yellow than bright white?

Mine does the same thing! Nothing to worry about if that is what you’re curious about :) Not sure the science behind it

2 Mi piaceInteresting! I’ve seen a lot of folks clip off the more solid white leaves because of the lack of chlorophyll.
0 Mi piaceMaybe more light might fix it? Idk
0 Mi piaceGood thought! She seems to love the window she is in tho so not sure I want to move her. We will see how the winter goes though.
0 Mi piaceEnvironmental conditions can influence the amount of variegation. For instance, in low light, a plant might produce more green tissue to compensate for its reduced ability to photosynthesize, a process known as reversion. I would recommend that you increase either the duration of light or the intensity to bring out the more white variegation.
