A better clone of Fugaku (富嶽)

[Shoreguy]

I'm starting to have some buyer's remorse on the Fugaku Hou recently purchased as the newest leaf on the major growth and a secondary growth are showing signs of ghosting out. Fortunately I paid not much for the plant and there are two tiny growths, not visible on the photo, which are variegated.

Does anyone know whether Fugaku is subject to this type of problem?

Most plants with chirifu-shima type variegation, including Fugaku and its variants don't easily go permanently ghost. Giving it somewhat lower light over the long term should help more green develop.

Thank you Hakumin.

That’s a relief as I have wanted a Fugaku Hou or Fugaku Hou type for years and this one was the first to become available at least to me.
