Why is my Variegated Whale Fin Snake Plant losing its color or turning yellow?
If the leaves are turning a mushy, pale yellow, it is a classic sign of overwatering. However, if the variegated stripes are simply fading or reverting to solid green, the plant is likely not getting enough light to sustain its variegation.
