Recently my calathea white fusion threw out a new leaf, and it looks like this… does anyone know why? It’s so different from the other leafs.

It may be totally random or it may be lighting related! It may not be getting bright enough light or light for a long enough duration each day. Brighter or more consistent light will generally yield more variegation, but flukes can always happen. I wouldn’t worry unless new leaves continue to do this.

My white fusion did that a couple of times and I cut the leaf off. I know I’m a terrible person! I wanted the plant to put energy into the more variegated leaves not the green ones. Also I increased the lighting. Variegated plants can revert back to “normal” green leaves. This is what mine looks like
