Applstar, please look at my Splash of Cream! Something's wrong with it, it seems puny and I'm noticing some brown edging on the white leaves! You know way more than me on variegated plants than me, PLEASE HELP I don't want to lose my plant!! It is planted in a pot, but all it's other potted tomato friends the same age as it are bigger, healthy and green.

remember, the whitest leaf surfaces are like unpigmented albinos - they have NO sun tolerance — not even chlorophyll to absorb the solar energy

Oh I see, that makes total sense. Should I provide it more shade than the others? Like give it afternoon shade?
