interesting!! i have it right next to the windo wright now, so it can get a little cooler, but if i move it to the middle of my bench, it will get more light. ill try that.. thanks!! will the variegation come back on older leaves?

I don't think it'll come back if it's been lost on an older leaf.

Btw: Odds are your Setsuzan isn't growing right now, especially if you're keeping it cold during the winter. The variegation emerges as the leaf grows, so brighter light in spring/summer is what you really need to get this guy to show his stripes. However, bright light in winter will make the plant flower better too. Your yellow tiger stripes are definitely candidates for brighter positions year-round among your neos.
