Non variegated Jolly Tiger

I got 2 jolly tiger cuttings that I was able to split into 4 plants. 2 are Variegated, but 2 are not. Will they revert back?

They could.  Variegation is normally somewhat unstable.

Mine was solid green last year, and now has variegated growth this season.

See here.

Hi Adelmanto,
To those variegated plants, there is a middle to be found in between full shade and full sun .
In full shade, the leaves are more likely to turn solid green.
In full sun, the leaves are more likely to turn to almost all white - the problem being that the white zones don't contribute to the photosynthesis for the plant.
So you need to find an half shaded location, with some sun .
Every now and then, whatever you do, some leaves will turn all green .
Keep experimenting and keep us posted, for the ones like me that don't have that strain - for now at least :) .
