Gina1960 said: Looks like a small amount of transient true variegation. If the 'stripe' doesn't also appear on the meristem and petiole, the variegation did not go through enough cell layers to be considered true. It may recur once in a while, but, it probably will never turn into a highly variegated plant, maybe a patch here and there


Sounds interesting, I'll keep an eye on it and hope for the best. Will the leaves ever revert back to green? If the variegation returns in the future, will any of the leaves ever contain white or only shades of green and yellow? There is a bit of white where the leaf joins the stem, but I think that's just natural.
Thank you for this information, I really appreciate it, though it is all new to me so I'll have to do a bit of research on terms and genetics. Best of luck to all of you with your own plants Crossing Fingers!
