My birken popped out a new leaf but it looks like this. Does anyone have an idea as to what happened. It feels normal and the plant seems healthy.

The stem is a different color too. New spontaneous variegation??

It’s reverting. I’ve heard most birkins end up reverting back to an all green version that starts with red leaves. Cannot remember the name.
