This gal is still growing like a weed but some leaves lost their dark pigment. Should I be concerned?  
It gets about 6 hours of direct sunlight (through gaps other plants leaves).

Do you rotate her at all? Might just need to make sure all the leaves are getting a good amount of sun

I wouldn’t be too concerned. Variegated and colorful plants typically get less green the more sunlight you give them. Thus, they often need more sunlight in order to photosynthesize the food they need. Actually, as long as it’s not burning, the less green your plant is, the happier it is 😊
