Why is my Neofinetia Fugaku losing its variegation?
I have two Fugaku plants. The first one I ordered years ago, and was disappointed to receive a solid green plant. I'm not complaining too much, because it has been an exceptionally strong grower.
About 2 years ago I purchased a second Fugaku, this time making sure it was variegated. However it has been losing its variegation. It started with the plant making new green leaves on a previously variegated fan (and they are not becoming variegated as the get larger), and this year it started a new growth which is also solid green.
Can I do anything about this? Is Fugaku's type of variegation something that can be fixed by modifying cultural conditions, or is genetically based only?
