I got this monstera albo cutting, but the new growth appears to have reverted. Should I cut back the new growth to try and force variegated growth? It’s coming in healthy so I’m apprehensive. Thanks y’all!

Reverted green growth on your Monstera Albo is normal. Don’t cut it — healthy growth is good. Variegated leaves should appear in future growth with bright, indirect light. 🌱
