Gerald D. Stewart, of New Leaf Nursery, suggested that whenever I am trying
to propagate a variegated sport from a mother plant, that I should wait until
there is at least 4-6 nodes of growth with the variegation that can be
removed from the plant as well as at least 3 nodes of variegated growth that
will be left on the mother plant. This will give you a backup if your
variegated cutting does not survive as the mother plant will still be
producing growth that is variegated.
