Those are what you call ghost leaves, where they have no chlorophyll at all. They will die off eventually because they have no ability to photosynthesize, hopefully it pushes out a somewhat green variegated leaf soon for the roots to take hold

Fingers cross. Thank you 🙏

I’ve heard reducing the amount of light will help with this.
