Why are some leave fully white/pink and have no green on ...
My earlier leaves when I first bought her as a baby houseplant had some pink on mainly green leaves with only the very baby leaves being fully pink. I’m now getting some leaves that have lots of white or are fully white? She’s doing a lot better than before but just want to make sure I’m doing it right. Pinky is my favourite plant. #StrawberryBegonia

Hi! Variegated plants are not always stable and can produce randomly fully variegated or not variegated leaves. It happens with a lot of them. I heard that light levels helps with how variegated they come out so it might be worth trying to put it in a slightly lower light spot to see if it produces some more green on the leaves. It could also just be the genetics of that plant, I wouldn’t worry about it too much unless it starts putting out completely variegated leaves consistently. A few here and there is fine.
@Rubiojugador Have you moved it recently ? Low light can cause this to happen. Also if you’ve changed the watering schedule at all ? They need to be watered properly to avoid root rot. Then there’s fertilizer burn if it’s over fertilized. Any of these mentioned can cause this to happen if you raise the humidity be sure not to get the leaves wet . Keep an eye out after checking these things it’s possible that it is starting a fungal infection too . Good luck
