Is this normal or did I get scammed.

How much light is it getting?  
When did you get it? Have you fertilized it? I’m not sure why it’s not with the color. I’ve never had that problem on a monstera. My marble queen pothos has a green only stem and the rest are fenestrated.

The fertilizer I use is Liqui-dirt! You can use it on EVERYTHING! It doesn’t smell! And the ingredients (and sources) are really clean!

Aw sad leaf. Can you show me a picture of the node, specifically what the stem looks like exactly opposite of where the newest leaf came out

#### Kenzo antwoordde op 2023-11-08

Can you tell anything from this picture or should I get another angle

So what I’m looking for is variegation in the stem. If it has a white stripe where a new growth point could occur, there’s a much higher chance that chopping will encourage new variegation to grow in. Unfortunately I’m not seeing white here 😢 You can keep growing and watching, but you chances are less likely. I’m sorry to bear bad news

#### Kenzo antwoordde op 2023-11-08

Oh no

### Tee Jay reageerde op 2023-11-08

It’s not uncommon for Albos to revert. The next leaf could still be variegated though. I’d give it one or two more leaves to see and then chop it back if they’re still green

#### Kenzo antwoordde op 2023-11-08

Girl I’m so scared I would cry if it reverted

#### Tee Jay antwoordde op 2023-11-08

The variegation in albos is not stable, so there’s always that risk. Hopefully you didn’t spend too much money on it 😭 Fingers crossed the white comes back!

#### Tellie antwoordde op 2023-11-10

My albos stem so you can see what they are talking about
