And what's all that white? It almost looks variegated, but i don't think that's the case. Is that just dead parts on the leaves?
All of the white is sunburn from when it was initially potted up. I had it in partial shade for over a week, gradually moving it out into full sun about 3 weeks ago. But it burned up the leaves anyway. They have not gotten any worse over the last few weeks, and the new leaves look great except for that spot.

I will keep an eye on it and watch the next leaf, which is coming up at a pretty good pace.
