I am just accustomed to seeing more of the "pure white" coloring (from my own limited experience)...obviously there is a high degree of variability in coloring.
yes at one point my plant was getting more then 50% white and i read in the wiki that this is a sign of weakening in the Ae so i have fertilized my plant heavily this summer to reinvigorate it so most of the white is gone at this point but I'm sure when i bring it in this winter the white will come back i think his spot problem is attack by ants in shipping they were eating the plant to survive

Ps its hard to see but i think i detect some of the red edges that Ae Ae get if he could take some really close up pictures of thees red edges I'm sure that would confirm it as AE Ae
