Thank you, I'll try moving it and giving it a few weeks. I miss the contrast from the markings it use to have.

Nicholas - the color will vary according to sun exposure. Eventually it will go back to a similar color in lower light.

No epsom salts required and not recommended.

I like to think of it as plants adjusting the amount and types of cells they produce as a natural response, rather than getting bleached out (which implies degradation). =)

No epsom salts, for sure. Folks think because a single magnesium atom is at the center of a chlorophyll molecule that more magnesium is good. Without sufficient calcium (there is none in epsom salts) the magnesium is of little value.

I'll stick to normal, low nitrogen fertilizer in small quantities for sure :) was worried about build up anyways and was going to ask how much epsom salt to use if it was recommended. Instead I'll just toss that idea.

Eww, I look at it in a similar way but wasn't sure how else to explain it :) I like to move my plants around a lot anyways, because things like my Adenium will get nice dark flowers if they aren't in such intense full sun so I frequently move my red plant to part sun when it's blooming (which seems like constantly)

My donkeytail ended up being very light in color when it got too much sun, but when it was returned to a shadier spot, its normal green color came back. It took a lot of time, though.

"...was worried about build up anyways..."

Oddly, the "salts" of epsom salts actually help break down the salts from ferts but still not meant for potted plants. A balanced fert with micro nutrients is best.

Wow TJ, I didn't know that and just assumed that all salt forms could build up in the soil in one way or another. Thank you for the info.
