S. ylindrica variegated from a leaf cutting

12 years ago

This S. cylindrica is from a leaf cutting from a treated sansevieria leaf.

It is a stable variegation that comes true. This also makes cuttings true from its leaf cuts as well. I will try to bloom this plant when matured and make seeds that will probably breed true for variegated offspring. Sometimes you can see the variegation in the fruit and this is a sign that the offspring can be variegated as well.

The cut end of the leaf was soaked in RTU Round up for a few days.

this treatment does not work 100% of the time and you may need to increase dosage or prolongevity.
