I have some variegated leaf avs. Most of them are new and the variegation ranges from white to dark pink. I even know the names of all but one. The one is an Optimara plant. The original (no longer here) had beautiful pink variegation throughout the entire leaf and pink flowers. I can't remember the type of blossom. The original plant only bloomed once. I have two small plants in two inch pots from that original plant. It has taken over a year to reach this size. Most of the gowth has occured since September when I purchased a light stand. They are just about ready to move to 4 inch pots. One is going to bloom. The variegation is not as vibrant as I remember the mother plant being.
What do you'all know about variegated avs? Do you fertilize with a different blend fertilizer? Do they need special care to keep the variegation plentiful? The other variegated plants I have were purchased just this summer. I want to keep the leaves at the peek of variegation. Two are growing very slowly and haven't yet bloomed.
Please share your experiences and knowledge.
