Jani:

There are several other variegated aroids that haven't been mentioned.

The most stable that we have grown is the Peltandra virginica with a

narrow white edge. Pinellia tripartita 'Dragon Tails' is fairly

unstable, but some of our seedlings are nearly solid gold and have been

stable for several years. The pinstripe-type arisaemas aren't exactly

variegated, but the highlighted silver vein effect is the same. There

is also an Alocasia cucculata with a nice yellow edge that we have grown

for years and now a new one is hitting the trade from Thailand with a

golden center. Alocasia odora 'Okinawa Silver' is an unstable

variegation pattern, but the pattern doesn't disappear. Ditto, the

speckled A. 'Portadora'. The variegated Zantedeschia aethiopica

'Pershore Fantasia' holds for few years, but after that there is more

green than variegated. I'm sure that there are more on the way.

OK, BUT CAN WE STABILIZE VARIEGATION? ARE THERE ANY VARIEGATED

TUBEROUS OR RHIZOMATOUS AROIDS?

Agoston,

At least one...
