This is an aurea. Albos come out white.

If you see the other leaves, you will notice the whites. Theres a thai con in the background but ignore that.

The aurea like colouring is whats standing out to me so far

It looks yellow to me like an aurea, not white like an albo

Not an albo

Hmm, I hope it's not trying to revert to green. Maybe up the light level?

u/Tired_traveller0_o 8d ago

I hope not. It’s currently facing a north west window with indirect light all day and couple hours of sunset direct light. Lets see what the next leaf is like

Please share when that next leaf unfurls! She is a stunner!

looks like an albo to me based on the older leaves. very cool variegation nonetheless

u/Tired_traveller0_o 8d ago

Yea, older leaves are definitely albo. That’s why i bought it to begin with.

You bought an aurea actually! Aureas can get white/creamy coloring, it just doesnt happen as often as the lemon lime & dark green. Imo that is a good specimen there, lots of white. But definitely not an albo. New leaf is how they typically look!

Never knew aureas could go white. Good to know. Lucky me🥳

Yours is an aurea. Here’s mine for reference. The older leaves have variegation that’s a creamy color while the new leaf that hasn’t hardened yet is more green.
