Identify variegation patterns accurately and keep them from reverting.
Reading patterns
Margin-variegated leaves show light edges; sectoral variegation splits the blade; speckled types show fine flecks. Match your pattern to cultivar photos for likely ID.
Reversion & pruning
All-green shoots outgrow variegated parts—prune reverted stems early to maintain pattern and ID value.
Examples
Variegated selections occur across genera including Crassula ovata and Aloe hybrids.
