Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about caring for variegated plants.
Why is my variegated plant losing its variegation?
Loss of variegation is often due to a lack of light. Variegated sections contain less chlorophyll, allowing the plant to produce more green tissue to compensate for insufficient light. Move your plant to a brighter location (avoiding direct sunlight) to encourage more pronounced variegation.
How often should I fertilize my variegated plants?
Variegated plants generally grow more slowly than their non-variegated counterparts and require less fertilizer. Fertilize with a balanced, diluted fertilizer (half the recommended strength) once a month during the growing season (spring through summer) and reduce or eliminate fertilization in fall and winter.
Why are the edges of my plant's leaves turning brown?
Brown leaf edges often indicate a lack of moisture or irregular watering. Variegated plants are particularly susceptible to these problems. Increase humidity with a humidifier, a pebble tray, or by grouping plants together. Establish a regular watering schedule based on your plant's specific needs.
Can I propagate my variegated plant?
Yes, but propagation methods vary depending on the plant type. Most aroids (Monstera, Philodendron) can be propagated by stem cuttings with nodes. The variegation pattern is not guaranteed in propagated plants, especially with chimeric variegation (like Monstera Albo). Thai Constellation tends to exhibit more stable variegation when propagated.
Why is my new leaf less variegated than the previous leaves?
Variegation patterns vary naturally from leaf to leaf, especially in spontaneous variegation plants like the Monstera Albo. Factors such as seasonal changes, light levels, and the overall health of the plant can influence variegation. Ensure optimal growing conditions and be patient: subsequent leaves may exhibit different patterns.
