New leaf on my variegated Bird of Paradise finally opening 🤭😍

Question regarding its variegation: the white parts are extremely thin stripes, almost like “mint” monsteras. Will the variegation continue like this?

Question to your question: is variegation bad???? What does it mean?

#### Saさんが2025-08-15に返信しました

Haha I guess the way I worded it made it seem kind of bad and technically it is, but it is usually sought after for being rare. Variegation is a genetic mutation where chlorophyll is not entirely present throughout the plant and leaves, leaving white stripes or splotches. My hope is that the variegation continues because I like how it looks because it makes it interesting

It will depend. Most varigated BoP I've seen are the smaller (mint monster like) striping. Some of the larger sectoral "varigated BoP" plants I've seen are not actually BoP, they are Heliconia, or lobster claw plants. That being said, all varigation can be variable, so slowly increasing light can often give a plant a larger expression of the varigation.
