my friend says the kashmir is doing well.
after the variegated leaves showed up all over, he eventually aggressively defoliated all the variegated leaves. it was displaying as split color leaf blades, half green and half pale divided by the spine of the leaf.
after growing back from just the new growth tips, the variegation has diminished. only about 10 leaves are showing it now, but it always comes back a little bit after he prunes the affected leaves. he says it is very branchy.
ill try to get his photos, he is a med patient and kind of disorganized.
