Total-white foliages or albino is a wonder, although most are ephemeral, so pictures might preserve them to be admired

What a special @Strever. I would keep pure white like that as long as I could, just to admire the fragile beauty.

That is one amazing foliage, now my M. deliciosa is the opposite of yours, almost lost all the variegation, with a hint of white dot here and there, not yet fully reverted to green, so hopefully one day it will go "the right way" again... Smiling Smiling

Tofi I had one that reverted to green. Only the Albo's revert. Thai Constellation don't. I planted my reverted one out in the yard on a tree and it got knocked back by a freeze, when the new growth came out, some of it was variegated....not a LOT but some. People have suggested that if you section up a reverted Albo, at least some of the pieces will resprout with some variegation

@Gina1960 I will chop my almost green Monstera, hopfully will get new shoots with variegation back. Buying new one is not an option for me. It felt un fair paying big money for a plant that I obtained quite cheap (a long long good old times ago.. Big Grin )

These Spathiphyllum 'Domino' throw all white leaves a lot. They deteriorate pretty rapidly. But they are a pure snow white!

The ones with even a little bit of green tend to have a more 'yellow' coloration

This is a teensy eensy Philodendron 'White Knight' I traded for. I traded an equally teeny eensy P. White Wizard LOL. Its last leaf is albino

The other leaf of that P. White Knight seems having a half and half variegation, so cute.
I love taking picture while they are perfect like that.. Smiling Smiling

My Pink Princess is growing up through a shrub which is against a fence. The pinkest leaves are on the side that faces the fence so I can't get a good picture. I'll have to ask my neighbors to snap a shot of the plant from their side of the fence.

Happy New Year everyone.

@ardesia I would really love to have a large pink princess Philodendron, but mine is still a small cutting..😀
most variegated peperomias only came out true if propagated by stem cutting. leaf cutting produce albinos or non variegated, but I love to propagated them, what ever the results

I cut a piece of the non variegated part from this water melon peperomia
and two plantlets came out albinos.
the other are just plain green.

Oo, I love them too...They are very easy to propagate, and since they do not grow too tall, not crawling or trailing, they make a very neat groud cover, filler for pots or anywhere in the green house. they can be very useful for vertical planting on walls and hanging pots. truly use full.

Different place, different problem. Here what we call a green house, simply a protected housing from the environtment
Rain being my most problem. Huge rain, would destroy many plants, including dropping branches the rain brought.
And then when it sunny, tropical sun would fry the leaves
Next you will have lots critters, grass hopper, caterpillar, bug, monkeys, squirells and all which will be happy devouring plants
or mosquitoes will munch on you.
Having a protected site with roofing and walls willbe beneficial.
Some plants can even be grown here, such rudbeckia, foxgloves, echinaceas, all are prone to rain.
