The pup I had was given top me by a professional grower from a variegated matte. He lamented that in his personal experience the green pups never turned variegated. I kept the pup in a pot for several months and dumped my coffee grounds on it, after a few months (when it reached about three feet) the pup started sending out variegated leaves. I grew the matte for about six years and received numerous variegated and a few all white pups (no green ones).
