I've noticed that the reverting to green happens in quite a few varigated plants. I think the varigation started as a 'sport' and eventually the plant wants to be 'normal' again. I have a varigated hibiscus that keeps sending off solid green leaves. Some stems come from main stem and others just shoot out from smaller branches. If I miss one, it seems to become all green in that one section. I have to go right down to the trunk stem to cut it the green ones. It's a pain in the neck in spring when it really starts to grow.
