After a long and grueling war against spider mites that came with my birkin when I adopted him, he finally grew a few new leaves and this wacky, cool one came out.

Anyone know if this is a common/known color variation? Could my pest treatments have caused it? (I used isopropyl alcohol once to wipe down leaves and then sprayed with multiple rounds of neem oil)

I know that they can revert, but in my opinion, that just means a really cool multicolored plant 😂
