# Just got this white princess start from a friend and it’s still in…

Just got this white princess start from a friend and it’s still in moss! What is the white leaf Turing brown like this ?! It’s under grow lights, I make sure the moss is damp but not soaking or water at the bottom.. ugh. It’s not the try crispy brown it’s still soft 😞

I’ve been told the white turning brown means not enough sun

#### Lacee svarte den 2024-07-02

That’s good to know, I do have her under grow lights but maybe I’ll try increasing it and see how it goes

### Riley kommenterte den 2024-07-02

It’s completely normal for the white on variegated plants to brown, especially if they’re mostly white

#### Lacee svarte den 2024-07-02

Thank you!! It was so white and beautiful for so long and now it’s turning brown :(

### Dog kommenterte den 2024-07-02

You should pot it in soil! Moss is not good for this plant

#### Lacee svarte den 2024-07-02

Really?!! Thanks so much! I didn’t know that! I will repot right now!

### Kat’s Cottage kommenterte den 2024-07-03

My white wizard is doing the same thing and it gets hours of bright indirect light. Its unfortunately unavoidable with white leaves

#### Lacee svarte den 2024-07-05

Should I just prune the leave off? Or back to the tiny bit of green or leave it to brown and fall offf ?

#### Kat’s Cottage svarte den 2024-07-06

You can either trim the white that’s turning brown off or leave it. Here’s how mine looks now and I still have new growth.
