# My kunzo white monster seems to be fully reverting... I have heard…

_Posted by Callum on 2026-08-17_

My kunzo white monster seems to be fully reverting... I have heard people say that you can cut it back to cause stress \& bring back the variegation - is there a best spot to cut from?

cut down to your desired variegation level. if you want it to return to the first leaf, cut down to that node. i've heard that some people have success stressing the plant other ways, like with low light or low temps, but those methods seem to be less consistently successful
