hi looking for advice!!

i think this is an earth star, and i’ve had it for maybe 5 days. i took the first picture on the day i got it, and the second this morning.

i’m unsure what’s causing the colour loss in the leaves, too much or too little light.

any help would be super appreciated🥹🫶🏼

These need very bright light to maintain the color. :)

thank you, i’m not sure this window gets enough sun for it to remain super pink then! As long as it’s still healthy i’m happy! :)

With these bright red colors they need the sun to variegate I suggest a different window or sometimes placing her outside (careful of direct sun for sunburn) your plant is so beautiful ❤️❤️

anything and everything causes earth stars to fade. i’ve never once had one that stayed colourful for any more than a month
