Ok, but can we stabilize variegation? Are there any variegated
tuberous or rhizomatous aroids?

Variegation can be induced with nasty mutagens like
Nitrosomethyl urea.I would not recommend doing so unless you have a
compelling reason andexperience using such chemicals. There are a few
viruses that causevariegation but most of them harm the plant and make
them useless. Thebig exception is some forms of the mallow family
Abutilon.Micropropagation can induce many variations and some of the
variegatedforms of plants do come from micropropagation but it appears to
be lowfrequency so finding them involves a great deal of chance and or
largecommercial production where tens of thousands of plants are produced
andgrown out. Spontaneous mutations of plastids can occur and are seen
inseedlings on occasion and this is the source of some variegated
plants.So the answer is not
simple._______________________________Michael Marcotrigiano,

12/21/06 10:39 AM >>>Dear All,Can somebody help me
with variegated Araceae? Because I do not know howvariegation starts. Are
there some viruses or chemicals which can inducevariegation? Can occure
variegation by micropropagation? How often?The second question would
be: How to take care of Anubias andCryptocoryne. They are sold as aquatic
plants, but my Anubias has grownout from the tank. Do they need a dry
period or what? What are therequirements of Lysichitons. I have allready
killed 5 pcs.Sorry for the many questions, but I still not received
the Aroid book,and thank you for your help in
advance!-----------------------------------------I have new
