Anyway...I'll try to get it back on topic: Have you ever experimented with changing the soil pH to alter the variegation? I've heard soil pH affects how much white the leaves have. Your other plants are beautiful too....you have so many! I'm jealous!

I grew up on a farm as well. Having to take care of animals as a young kid was a wonderful experience. I am now teaching my young girls the same. We had polish hens, Guinea hens, Banties, Pea Cocks, African Geese, many types of ducks, pigeons, chickens, rabibits, sheep, goats and 200 horses! We owned a 65 acre horse farm 30 minutes from New York City.
I have wondered why some of the AeAe leaves are mostly green and other like a swirled ice cream. I was going to go to Starbucks and get a bag of used coffee grinds (the bags are free). I just don't want to kill the plants. I have read many posts on acidity. I just have not done it.
