Default Re: Ae-Ae Are The Hard To Get people say they Are Rare..?

And all green 'Ae Ae' reverting back to variegation is very rare, and is most likely a seperate event not related to the fact that it was once variegated, plants sometimes do mutate to variegation, this is how the first 'Ae Ae' came about. Another possibility is that it still had the mutant cells within the meristem but not enough to show, but due to an environmental change they became more appearent. In any case, one shouldnt buy 'Green Ae Ae' expecting it to someday make variegated pups.
