10 Plants with stable variegation! (NO Reversion OR Cutting)

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll get together a video for plants with notoriously UNSTABLE variegation 😄❤

[@MJMEGANJONES]

Thank you! Also a video on how to bring back variegation on reverted plants would be mighty helpful as well ;) Haha

[@hawkmoths]

I think a great addition to that video would be chemically induced variegation- birkin, pink congo, adansonii for some examples 💚

Kaylee Ellen: "it is a calathea on steroids." me: *takes calathea white fusion off of my wish list.*

[@cuddlefish322]

Mine did wonderfully until she got spider mites :( I am willing to try again, i can't get enough of those gorgeous leaves

[@TheBarefootedGardener]

@@cuddlefish322Calathea ‘White Fusion’ really benefits spending summer outdoors in filtered morning sun. My white fusion got spider mites too, so I forgot about it outside and by the end of the summer, it regrew leaves that seem tougher. It must be a case of shock, like how a Ficus benjamina throws a fit when it’s conditions change. Organic fertilizer will be easier on the plant as well.

[@slyfox5739]

Cuddlefish omg me too. I had to quarantine it and because it wasn't in my general view, I neglected it and i had to trash it. I really hope to try again with another. I was literally thinking about it the other day and I realized too late that I probably could've regrown it from the tubers

[@baharehzameni3082]

I really like a few calatheas but I always avoided them because everyone says they are such divas and very sensitive to pests. but the white fusion was secretly on my list for a while now and a few days ago I finally ordered one (Black Friday deal 15€ lol) now I am scared to death lol I don't know anything about calatheas and after watching this video I am even more scared xD fingers crossed that it likes me tho

[@slyfox5739]

Bahareh Zameni filtered water, high humidity, and indirect bright light. That's about it. I don't even have high humidity most of the time 30-40% 😳and my calathea was fine. The calathea I have right now(medallion) is doing ok, it's a little dry and I sometimes for get to water it so the edges are a little crisp, but it's other wise pretty ok. They just be trouble adjusting/transitioning most of the time so you gotta pamper them a little bit for the first couple days/ weeks with a humidifier or a mist-er and it's worked well for me.

Not usually a huge commenter on KZbin but wanted to give advice to anyone who has issues with Goeppertia (formerly Calathea) White Fusion.The humidity in my room is roughly 60-65 and I don't shove it close to a whole bunch of plants (which is usually done to increase humidity in a tight area). Watering with distilled water helps (I use reverse osmosis), and having a healthy amount of light helps! Lots of browning of variegated plants aren't actually from lack of humidity, but just lack of light, nutrition and water! Oh, and of course, let it acclimate for a few months :D My White fusion has been thriving for months and the biggest thing I've learned is just not to be nervous about taking care of it, it senses your fear

[@baharehzameni3082]

the last sentence.. I hope it is true. my verrucosum is growing like weed even though everyone says it is the biggest diva, but for me it is thriving and I love it.. I hope my white fusion will be like that too.

[@veronikavysoudilova9697]

I guess mine does sense my fear 🤣 it's not dying, but it has some brown spots. The humidity oscillates around 55-65 at my place though :D so not the best.. do you have any secret plant food which it likes? I want to bribe it 🤣

A great topic no one expected! Thank you! The ctenanthe does revert to green in low light, and I have 5-6 white fusions and they revert to green when put into low light, and will give variegation when I give them dappled direct sunlight. However, I live in the tropics and plants respond different to light and watering here.

Ilsemanii rarely reverts, but it in fact does. The owner of the nursery where I purchased mine, David Fell of Fantastic Gardens Hawaii, has shown examples of the plant reverted. Siddhartha has a great write up on Ilsemanii in his Facebook “Philodendron Enthusiasts” group that details this plant and how to tell it from its Jose Buono not-so doppelgänger.

Recently it produced one leaf with 1/6th of a leaf sector with variegation. I'll know more when I'll see a new leaf.

[@dotKaydot]

I got my calathea white fusion around 10 weeks ago. I got it at a discount as a “sparse” plant, and when I received it I wasn’t sure I’d be able to rehab it (I’m relatively new to this). It had spider mites and the new leaves coming in looked wet and transparent, I was worried it was a bacterial infection. I sprayed it down, treated the spider mites, cut off the new leaves that were worrying me, stuck it in a very large glass jar for humidity, and crossed my fingers. Since then it has outgrown the jar and is now in an ikea Socker mini greenhouse. It has put out three perfect new leaves, larger than any it had before, and I haven’t seen any new browning. Soon I’ll be moving it into an ikea greenhouse cabinet since it is starting to outgrow the Socker. This was the first calathea I purchased and I was scared as hell, but really it has not been that difficult. I don’t have a humidifier but keeping it in an enclosed space has done the trick for me.

[@alexcatrea]

Love my ikea socker. Also have found my calathea easier than I expected. It's just started flowering.
