| Like humans, plants need to pass through the various stages of development until they reach sexual maturity and are able to reproduce. Unlike humans, plants don't age chronologically. Their aging process is ontogenetic and more closely related to the number of times their cells divide than the passing of time. Because the all green variation is genetically more vigorous, and with all else being equal, it should be expected to reach maturity before the variegated variant. There is really nothing you can do, other than provide the cultural conditions the plant prefers so it moves through the growth phases as fast as genetic limitations allow, cultural limitations not withstanding. Is there anything to make you think you could improve on the cultural conditions? Al |

| Thank you for responding Al, currently no, it's hot and humid here so all of my plants have thrived with the exception of this one |

| OK - patience it is, then. Best luck. Al |

| Has your plant started sending out scouts for new locations to invade? |
