Can anyone tell me if these leaves are variegated or just stressed? I got this little lad yesterday with two full leaves like this and one partially

I do not believe that is variegation. Perhaps overwatered while the bb leaves were developing?

Also look up mosaic disease. Not sure but a few photos resemble your leaves.

I hope it isn’t disease and it’s just sad!

Hmm it looks like sun stress or nutrient deficiency to me. It should grow better leaves after a while under less intense lighting and with some plant food

I got it from IKEA so who knows what they were doing! Hopefully it enjoys being in my house better

definitely looks like a nutrient deficiency. if it is, a little bit of fertilizer will help, ideally an organic one that has both macro and micronutrients

I just got this same plant yesterday. Change the soil to a more well  
draining. spray with neem and check for pests. mine has been doing great since and chop any yellow or dying leaves!!
