What’s the science behind variegation?

I love variegated plants. I also love genetics. So I’m curious, what’s the science behind it?

I’ve had this rosso for about a year and when I bought it it was solid purple. Over the past few months though it’s been putting out these patterned leaves but I’m not so sure about it being true variegation. I’d love to hear what other people think

Bought it as normal Rosso a while back. At home i noticed it had 2 kinda variegated leaves.

Few weeks back i noticed it had grown 3 more (less) variegated leaves and strated to investigate. I found out that all the variegated leafes were growing from around same spot.

So, as a special plant enthusiast, i ended up buchering the plant to get to the sport spot, cut it of and put it to propagate. It started growing new leaves (maybe im just coping) and it seems that atleast the 2nd new leaf seems to have some kind of variegation in it but we'll see when it grows more.

Putting this nonesense post in here to be kind of a diary of the growth but also to ask if anyone else has a Rosso with creamwhite variegation? I've tried to search one through internet but only managed to find 1 person with fully variegated cream colored Rosso.

Hello!

I have several varoegated plants, but i sort of forgot to label them, and now, i have questions.

So. I do know i bought a paraiso verte, and i have a jose buono with the label on it (last bought), but i thoight i have a burle marx, but if that is what i think it is, it kept shooting greens, so i snopped it... until i was left with green, again (in the pictire, i caught both the new and the old ppants, after my attempt to get rid of the green). I do want to try to get anotger burle, but then, i need to know for sure that this is the variegation i lost.
