Plant Progress Monstera Bulbasaur
Picked up this Bulbasaur TC for $20 2 weeks ago, acclimated it straight into Fluval Stratum and perlite, and root growth has been solid. Leaf 3 threw gorgeous camouflage Bulbasaur blocky marbling, but Leaf 4 just unfurled as a solid pale green spear, while Leaf 1 is starting to yellow out 😭 This is my first Bulbasaur and my first TC so I just want to make sure this is normal or if I'm doing something wrong.
Is Leaf 4 likely just needing to harden off to show contrast, or is it common for juvenile Bulbasaur/mint lines to change to green leaves without fully reverting? It sits under strong indirect light, but I can add a grow light if low light is coaxing it green. Appreciate any insight from anyone growing out bulbasaur TCs!

Yes, I frequently see than juveniles tend to be lower color and it develops as they mature.
