So true! I found a sport leaf on a Monstera at a box store. I took it home and waited and gave it a lot of light and it pushed out a half moon! I was so proud!
I have soooooo many rooted plants that came from my OG plant. each cutting alternates between green and variegated leaves, but with each chop I make, I am getting closer and closer to having a fully variegated. Just gotta be VERY selective on which nodes you make grow
Question, I see you pulled back the sleeve of the leaf (is it sheath?), anyway, I can pull mine back too and it's white but there is not a new leaf coming but that part is starting to peel away.. Is this a bad sign?
Haha i have a same variegated plant. One leaf is pure green, other is half green and half variegated, than next pure green etc. haha. Great informations. Like always!
Question: I propogated my albo, the activated node was 70% marbled white and 30% green , but....... The leaf came out 98% green (few white marble spots) and the stem is fully green. How is this possible? The leaf sleeve was marbled all the way through, yet the leaf itself was ....green. Does this mean node color only shows the color your leaf sleeve wil be?
This happens, but let it grow a few leaves. If that bud had a good color mix, you should see color in future leaves and stem. I’ve seen stems go from all green to a nice blend, but sometimes it takes a few leaves
I have a variegated monstera albo cutting that the stem has now turned green and leaves are green, the original leaf of the cutting was a half moon but the new leaves were spotted and now full green. What can I do?
I had bought a cutting with a white stripe on the stem but the next leaf to come out is mostly green with a fee specks on variegation and the recent one is fully green or at least have a tiiny line of white, both stems are green now. Does that mean I’ll have to cut back or will the variegation return?
It’s possible some light striping can return to the stem, but it’s probably best to check down at the axillary buds to see if they line up on the variegated part of the stem. If it does, then cut just above that point to force growth at that bud site and get the variegation to show 😄
What if the stem doesn't have any variation? I have a aurea that has 2 leaves with one small spot of variation and i don't see any variation on the stem and i doubt the leaf i am waiting to open has any, the cutting that those leaves grow from does have stripes and i guess somewhat decent variation on the leaf but the new ones doesn't. I don't know if i should wait or cut the new stem off of the original cutting but i don't know if the original cutting would have enough energy to make a new stem?
That’s a really great question-if there’s no variegation in the top shoot, and also none in the stem (Aurea is hard to see) then I would wait to cut. That’s usually what we do. Often times with the Aurea if will go all lime green, then go back to mixed colors, and I’m hoping this is the case for you!
Bought an albo cutting a couple month back and it has pushed out an all green leaf. I guess it’s not surprising since the node came out of an all green prt of the stem. Is there any hope for this plant to get back some whites? The new stem and leaf is all green.
What about the other way around? I have one that's been consistently marbled with med-large white patches suddenly giving me an all white with a tiny patch of green on the midrib. Should wait it out and see if green makes a comeback? I can see some green in the petiole and the stem that's emerging but still mostly white. Curious to hear your thoughts!
Hi, I bought a cutting completly green of monstera variegata. Was very cheap that's why I bought it. But do you think I have any chance to get variegation again?
If it came from a stem having variegation, yes, I do think there is a chance! It might take a few leaves to see something, but I have had some sport Monsteras increase in variegation slightly!
It really just depends where the axillary bud is located on that stem. If it is a sectoral-like variegation (blocked white/green) and bud is directly over the white, or the green, avoid it. But if it has marbling through the stem, there is a good chance you can get a nice mixture of mostly white, and some green! Hope this helps!
my monstera albo has marbled stem with lots of white but I don't know why it keeps giving me very low varigated leaves😭after growing ten leaves, they're still low varigated and with each leave the amount of white on stem seems to become less. I hesitate to chop it because none of the nodes seem to be on very white areas on stem except very lower nodes. and I don't want to chop it that low because it has tiny, no fenestration, pothos-like leaves down there. I guess with some monsteras there's no way to achieve high varigation😔

That’s insane!!! So lucky 🙌
Did you put in the room or put out of room ?

Thank you so much for this information!
Much needed information.
🤗

So what you do you do with the green leave , do you cut rhe leaf off ?
Super PRETTY!!!!! 💜

It’s almost exactly how it goes 🤣 Thanks for checking out the vid!!

Can you make white leaves not brown?

It is possible for sure! More hope if there’s any traces of white through the leaf. We usually let them grow 2-3 leaves bc there’s usually a chance!

I would say wait it out! With the highly marbled, it can definitely create more white leaves than normal
I bought 2 nodes that are green but mother plant is a albo what’s the like-hood I’ll get variegation and or how long would it take to see it?
There’s a small chance, but it all depends on if there’s any white in the stem. It’s possible it kinda comes back (I’ve seen that after 4-5 leaves)

If it came from a stem having variegation, yes, I do think there is a chance! It might take a few leaves to see something, but I have had some sport Monsteras increase in variegation slightly!
Would you recommend buying a plant with a stem that is almost all white and no green?
It really just depends where the axillary bud is located on that stem. If it is a sectoral-like variegation (blocked white/green) and bud is directly over the white, or the green, avoid it.
But if it has marbling through the stem, there is a good chance you can get a nice mixture of mostly white, and some green!
Hope this helps!
@@prettyingreen thank you!
How do I get my monsters to variegate???
Make sure you have a variegated plant, and look through the stem for where to cut! We explain it in many of our vids :)
If your stem has a few small lines will it grow more stems with variegated lines or will it just be the same
I’ve seen very few lines of variegation turn into lots more variegation over time 😄
@@prettyingreen yay this gives me hope hahaha
@@shanncat3426 Good!! I've had a bunch of albos surprise me too!
Nature is incredible! Love those plants
😄😄😄
Because the only thing that matters is stem or node color
Yup and subsequent leaf color!
