Hi guys! So, I have a Portulacaria afra. Well, actually two of them. One (larger, the first in the photo) is a normal Portulacaria afra, while the other one is a variegata. First one has about 6 months, while the other one has about 3 months. They are in the same kind of pot, have the same mix of soil, and are on the same window (facing south, northern hemisphere), pretty much next to each other. But while the normal version is slowly, but beautifully growing, the variegata is… well, not looking that great. It hasn’t changed much in those 3 months, it even dropped some leaves. I looked at the roots, but they look fine to me (sorry, forgot to take photos of them). I’m just starting with plants, so I don’t know what to do to help it grow. I thought that both normal and variegata versions have same requirements, but maybe I was wrong? I’d appreciate any help.
