Howdy All !!!
I am currently culling/potting-up seedlings from Hosta ' Korean Snow ' .
I am finding about 20% streaked. I am not finding any 'snow' type
variegation tho. Is this something that shows up later???
I am growing under cool white florescents ( 24x7 hrsxdays ), hung barely
above the plant tops. My reason for mentioning this is that after about 6
yrs of growing seed, I'm beginning to suspect that the spectrum of light
( produced by cool white ) does not develop some types of variegation ( not
that it isn't there, just can't see it). This is casual and subjective
observation,,, Not Science !
Is there any science available?? Anyone else share my suspicions???
What about culling vs potting-up the seedlings that appear only green (
actually about 10% are shinny, the rest have a nice soft bluish sheen ).
Thanks in advance, Brian Skaggs@aiagrp.net <<< that is our new Email
