Because the variegated patches lack chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight and converts it into energy for the plant to grow, variegated areas cannot perform photosynthesis efficiently or at all. As a result, these parts of the leaf rely on adjacent green tissues for energy production. Providing adequate light allows the plant to absorb enough sunlight through the green tissue, and the plant can maintain its variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, though, as this can burn the delicate tissue. Avoid over-fertilizing as well, as excessive nutrients can lead to green overgrowth, diluting the variegation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJust like us, every plant is unique, and we're here for diversity! Variegation levels vary (get it, vary.. variegation..) among plants and are influenced by factors like genetics, light exposure, and environmental conditions. Some plants have subtle variegation, while others display more prominent patterns. Variegation can also be unstable, leading to reversion where the plant reverts to its original non-variegated form if it isn’t getting enough light or has been over-fertilized. Conversely, over-variegation may occur when there is an excess of non-green tissue, hindering photosynthesis and resulting in stunted growth. If you notice your plant is no longer producing green tissue in the leaves, and the growth is smaller, simply prune back your amigo to encourage new growth of green tissue.
