# It’s been almost 5 years but I finally splurged and got a variegated…

It’s been almost 5 years but I finally splurged and got a variegated billietae cutting! Have her in some LECA under a grow light and will baby her until a see a new leaf pop up! Anyone else have a bucket list plant they keep waiting and waiting on?!? Or is it just me?

Not just you! I have many on my plant bucket list but no room for anymore!

Good luck with her! I love anything variegated. I just got a variegated rubber plant. Kinda obsessed.

A tineke? Or is it a different variety? I struggled with mine. Finally put her outside so she’s got some new growth, but def in the struggle bus :)

Peperomia..I put mine with my other rubber plant who’s thriving so Im hoping for success. Im still new to plants so it’s been a lot of trial and error figuring out what they like.

Scindapsus rubicon variegated has been on one of my wishlists so long I forgot about it. It was $400 for a starter plant when it went on the list! It’s under $100 now, but, still too high! I will wait until Walmart or proven winner starts selling them. 🤣

I had to look that one up bc I hadn’t heard of that variety before… found a starter for $29 on Coolective Plants website… curious is that is labeled correctly.. if so you may have just found your in ;)
