I had the HARDEST time growing an albo out. I would buy seedlings, cuttings and even 3 to 4 leaf established plants and I would lose them to root rot. I had a watering and fertilizer schedule and grow lights and great natural light. I would research and still screw it up. So I threw away my scheduled watering/fertilizer regiment and went to lifting the pot to see if it was light weight, best thing I could of done...I added a humidifier that runs for 16 to 18 hours a day, and I have gorgeous albos with amazing variegation and the grow light I have for them...is the very first and cheapest one I have. I have some really nice T5 Barrinas but my albos love the clip on, 3 light rod Amazon blue light special grow light for $8 two years ago. When I take cuttings and root them out all I use is fluval and IMO the best for rooting any cutting.
