# About 3-4 months ago had to move this peperomia to an East facing…

_Posted by Brilew on 2025-05-28_

About 3-4 months ago had to move this peperomia to an East facing window. Recently I’ve noticed it had very light colored leaves. I cut off one that was completely light with no variegation. It’s currently sprouting tons of new leaves and a new stem so I feel like it’s doing ok because it’s growing, but should I be worried about the light color???

I also recently added a bit of new soil on top and have been fertilizing per Planta’s advice.

Why would you be worried about that? White leaves are beautiful! Its giving white leaves because its healthy.

Ill admit it doesnt look like a rubber plant… at least not the species youve selected.

It looks alot more like the “marble” variant.

I’m a beginner so I just went with what Planta said when I scanned it. But thank you for the insight!

It sounds like your plant is doing well and the lighter colour is natural variation. If you prefer the darker leaf colour move it to somewhere with a little less light.
