Hi there!

I have two arrowhead plants in my home that are both very different and I would like some advice regarding one of them.

The plant in question, I've had for almost a year. When I first got it, it's leaves were green. As time went on the leaves turned white. I assumed I just had the "white butterfly" variety. However, this plant has hardly grown since I got it! It looks very healthy. I do see new growth and the leaves start off green but then they turn white. Perhaps it's just a bushy white butterfly. However, in comparison to my other arrowhead, part of me thinks this plant is not getting enough light, which is keeping it from photosynthesizing, which is keeping it from growing.

It's kept in a hanging pot near a west facing window, so it gets the light of the later afternoon. There are trees outside the window so it doesn't get any direct sunlight.

My other arrowhead plant I've had for 6 months and it seems to be doing great! It is nice and green and has grown a ton since I first got him. This plant is hanging near a small east facing window so it gets a little morning light but most of its light comes from a large window in the same room.

Any suggestions/comments regarding my white butterfly..?

Thank you! *Please see photos below! The first one is of the plant in question and the second is my other arrowhead.
