herbologist Posted January 28, 2009 Just an update on the 4 rib Bridge, now back to five after some interesting growth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herbologist Posted January 31, 2009 Just a quick question. If you have a variegated cactus and it thows pups from an ariole that is variegated, the pup should continue to be variegated? Well, if you cut out the semi monstrose part of the above cacti and root it, would pups from that cut be semi monstrose? Is some experimentation in order, or is this just a dumb question?

mutant Posted January 31, 2009 This is not a dumb question at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Stay Puft Posted January 31, 2009 Depends on whether the mutation is genetic or caused by environmental issues. If the cactus has reverted back to a normal growth pattern it would seem to me to be more of an environmental influence that caused the mutated growth... possibly the cactus got a little confused while growing its extra rib. But that doesn't mean it aint worth a try... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t st tantra Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) after rooting a variegated stem from a double yellow aurea hybrid brug all the new leaves are disappointingly normal but i've noticed that this variegation is only on the leaves at some times of the year,and rarely on the stem.......a work in progress........ave a go,youd be a mug not too,lol......... t s t .

herbologist Posted January 31, 2009 have a go,youd be a mug not too,lol Good point tst, I'll give it the chop tomorrow, and see how it goes. I'd hate to be a mug How about another quick question, Is it possibe to 'out grow' a clone? ie: If said cactus only grows to 3m and you take the tip of that column, plant it and so forth, will it get to the point where it won't grow anymore or really slowly? Had a search but wasn't really sure what I was looking for. Just, I have a few clones, some grow heaps (50+cm) and some barely at all (2cm), all are planted in the ground in the same part of the garden. The growing cacti don't seem to be in any one area, rather spread out among the non growers. Or could this just be because of poorly prepared beds? ie; Didn't mix compost in evenly?

Mr Stay Puft Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Variegated plants of all types very commonly revert... as the normal condition is much more favorable to the plant the normal growth usually grows at a greater rate, and eventually 'takes over' the original variegated plant... When i used to work at the Botanic Gardens we would spend hours cutting reverted branches out of plants otherwise the entire plant would eventually become normal...
