Sometimes it is a spontanical mutation, just like
my Spathiphyllum (see appended photo). It's been living on a southern window for
more than 2 years.

more.
I've heared, that there is a kind of chemical which can kill
the chloroplasts in the cells, so maybe they use this on tissu cultured plants
to get variegation.
Well that's just my idear, maybe not
true...

-thanks + a tissue culture
question
Dear Ken,
Thanks
for the info:, from what I`ve heard, there is "something" going on
with
this "varigated" kick, all sorts of plants are popping up in a
varigated
form. A friend hinted to me that there is a process being used
to induce this varigation in MANY plants, just recently I heard of a
couple
plants of varigated Philodendron goeldii for sale in Asia, and
even in other
plant families way too many varigated cultivars are turning
up for it just
to be by chance.
Does anyone have any info. on
this??
The Best,
Julius
>>The very expensive
Zamioculcas for sale at the IAS show was variegated.
That's why it was
$100. There were several rooted cuttings in each
plastic sleeve and
there were two available for sale.
