I've got a Flowering Maple:

Abutilon pictum 'Apricot'

It's not too old and has never grown more then about 1' tall. It gets
sun and is outside in the summer. It's guess it to be about 2 years old.

It gets an occasional yellow leaf but now I have many leaves, both old
and new, getting a mottled effect. See the scan below on leaf:

I've tried fertilizer changes, watering frequency and moving it around
to different windows. I just did a hard prune on it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

There are several varieties of A. pictum that have variegated foliage.
I couldn't find 'Apricot" , but the photos I found that showed some
variegation had orange/apricot flowers. Perhaps this is a plant with
variegated leaves??

Yes, I found the same thing when I was looking around but I assumed that
the plant would have the variegation from the start and not just start
it later on. This yellow also appears to be a faded yellow rather than
the strong contrast between green and yellow.

If they are prone to virus attacks maybe mine didn't have one but now
does?
