Comments (46)Timothy Sorry no variegation there. The color is a little uneven on the leaf.....probably something environmental caused that......but it is not variegated. Variegated sports do show up now and then, not often but sometimes people find them....See MoreVariegated Monstera cutting help

Comments (19)Chimeras or chimeric plants occur when cells of more than one genotype are found growing adjacent in the plant's tissues. The most common types of chimeras present as variegations, which provide the example most often used to explain variegations and chimeras. While the shoot apical apical meristem (area near branch/ stem tips where extension growth originates) produces all leaf cells, some of the cells will be conspicuous because of an inability to synthesize chlorophyll (green pigment). So even though the cells are all part of the leaf's tissues cells of one genotype will be green, while others are white (or nearly so). Not all chimeric variegations are entirely stable. Periclinal chimeras normally are very stable and are what are normally used in commerce, but it's not at all uncommon for plant parts to revert to the original genotype. USUALLY, this occurs from adventitious buds, buds which form on the plant where they are not expected to occur. Example, buds that form in leaf axils (crotch formed by the leaf and the branch/ stem/ vine it's attached to) would have a much higher probability of remaining stable than buds which form in locations other than leaf axils. So, buds that form at random on the plant, including new stems that arise from root tissues, are much more likely to revert to the original genotype. This is because adventitious buds require dedifferention of tissue and its redifferention into a new apical meristem which might not be able to reproduce the variegation throughout the rest of the plant, or in this case, the variegation formerly seen from the rest of the plant. All you can do is wait and see. Al Thank you tapla for easy to understand explanation...See Morephilofan
