I just wanted to show off my beautiful Birkin. It has added a second white leaf, both with a tinge of purple. It’s so pretty, and such a surprise! Does anyone know how long these white leaves will last? TIA!

White leaves don't tend to last as long as the green leaves because they lack chlorophyll. It should be in the brightest indirect light that you have. The white leaves are very cool unfortunately they won't last as long as the others.

Try supplementing with silica. Seems to help. Many others on here use it. It helped my white knights white leaves last longer.

TXS for your return post! I have a product called ARMOR SI. Are you familiar with this product, and would it help my Britt keep its white leaves? TIA for any forthcoming info!
