Will mini greenhouse save my plant?

R.I.P. expensive little plant. I have a mini greenhouse coming in the mail tomorrow for him. I had to chop of his dying leaf. He keeps pushing out all white leaves too. I keep cutting them off. Guess there’s no hope for him to throw out a leaf with green?? Was it a waste of money?! Ugh #help #variegatedplants #ThisPlantIsNotHappy #MonsteraAdonsonii

I don think it's a waste of money - it's an adventure!

Honestly, it look like that leaf was kinda low in the soil. The top of the plant looks REALLY healthy! It's really beautiful... even if it gives you some grief. οΏΌ

So frustrating!!! Do you have a grow light?? Any plant I have that I really want to save or grow I place under a grow light.
This one was under 20 bucks on Amazon. NOT professional but does the trick.....look how the pothos has turned to it....
It may help this guy...

If the roots are good, she'll recover.

Cheap greenhouse effect, take a baggie, I stock up on 2.5 gallon baggies and zip about 3/4. I've gotten great results from my frugal individual greenhouses.

Like @sarahsalith , always a learning experience.

My hubby bought me an outrageously expensive variegated Adansonii. It dropped every single leaf except one. I lost my mind. It is now popping number 7! Keep the faith, they can definitely win an Oscar for best dramatic performance.

@AwesomePlants I’ve done with other plants but the gallon bags I have aren’t big enough. My mini greenhouse comes tomorrow!

Eventually she should give you some green leaves. With each new leaf and stem extension should also come a new node. At some point the node should hit the green stripe in the stem and in turn yield a leaf with green patches. Be patient with her and she should reward you at some point.
