Thats just the leaf variegation

#### Sharon G ha respondido el 2025-01-05

Thank you, Iola. By the way, just a sidenote, I was born in Iola, Kansas.😁

It’s beautiful and full of looks very healthy. It may be because of the light. More light lighter leaves, less light darker leaves.

#### Sharon G ha respondido el 2025-01-05

Thank you, Carrie

#### Sharon G ha respondido el 2025-01-05

Thank you, Carrie… I was concerned that maybe it was getting too much direct light, so your answer kind of confirms my suspicions.

Is the window getting less light? Due to winter. If so that probably what your seeing. Less light = less chlorophyll production. It's comon in winter

#### Sharon G ha respondido el 2025-01-05

Thank you for that explanation… I was wondering about the light being too much.

#### Wolfen 🐺 ha respondido el 2025-01-05

Yes, it's kinda of a strange dichotomy 😆 the intensity of the light can also effect the color (like Carrie mentioned), vs the length of light exposure which can happen seasonally

Thats a variegated arrowhead plant. As far as I can see, those leaves are normal.
