Verigation
« Thread Started on Apr 10, 2008, 1:50pm »
I've been watching this little N. hookeriana for the last 4 months, really hoping that the verigation holds up. Most are of the opinion that it was due to chemicals in the lab that produced it and that it will grow out of it, but then again others have said that 1 in a million still happens, once in a million

Keeping my fingers crossed!

It happens naturally on occasion. It looks like theres enough chlorophyll for it to keep the variegation.
Variegation is one of those love/hate things. People either see it and have to have it, or can't stand it. Personally I think it makes plants look sick, but I can understand why people find it attractive.

Yep, on little guys like this it's not very impressive! There were some pictures posted by Rob from Borneo Exotics some time back that, if anything could, would change your mind! Take a look and let me know what you think afterwards.

Yeah I saw that. I'm still not a fan lol. But my fav is the ramispina, because it looks semi-natural. I've seen a plant Leilani has that's got a basal that's totally white. Goofy looking IMO.
