Unknown plant problem - Peperomia?

[Monique Reed]

If you have a plant with variegated leaves, the leaves may revert to a
more-nearly-all-green state if the plant is in light that is too low. 
The yellow areas don't photosynthesize much/at all, so the plant will
increase the size of the green chlorophyllous area in the leaves.  I
have seen this happen often with Pothos plants.
