Lynn,

Which variegated kerrii do you have? I have the one that's SUPPOSED to have the cream on the inside, yet you have to practically use a magnifying glass to see the difference between the outside and inside leaf color! But this doesn't really answser your question...

Variegated plants are mutations of the standard green form. Often times, you'll get a "throwback" or normal leaf or even an offshoot of all normal growth. Some people remove the normal (solid green) growth in hopes that the next growth will be variegated. I would just let it do what it's going to do and if you end up with more than you want, you can always remove a whole stem and start a new plant. In other words, I'd wait and see what happens...

Thanks Denise for your response. You are probably correct that this is a throwback, but I'm so disappointed with it. I'm entering it in a flower show next week and here I have this all green leaf dead center in the plant! Just my luck.

My kerrii is the 'Variegata". It has a dark green center with a wide cream edging all around. It makes the heart shape really stand out.

Hi Lynn,

Just a thought, it may not be as obvious to onlookers as it is to you, esp. if there's lots of other foliage, etc. Good luck w/ the show!
