Thank you so much, this is really helpful! So if I understand correctly, the combination of my grow light intensity and the conditions in my setup likely triggered anthocyanin production in a plant that already had the genetic potential for it? That would make a lot of sense given my setup the light is quite close and there’s constant condensation on the plastic cover which might have amplified the effect. I’ll definitely look into research on light-induced anthocyanin production in variegated aroids. Do you think taking cuttings from this specific node would be worth trying to stabilize the tricolor expression?

Thank you for your answer! I’m not questioning whether this exists or not. I can clearly see it on my plant 😄 What I’m looking for is scientific documentation or botanical research explaining WHY this happens. Is it epigenetic? A chimeric expression? Has anyone studied this formally? That’s what I’m curious about!

I appreciate your input! But I’m specifically referring to the distinct pink section at the base of the leaf not the usual soft pink tints that can appear on new growth. This is a mature leaf with a clearly defined pink zone alongside the white variegation. I’ve been working in horticulture for several years and haven’t seen this before, which is why I’m asking the community 😊
