Leaf bud cuttings....

Hi everyone!

I want to perform some ex-vitro leafbud cutting propagation. The main question is the clone will keep the mother plant's features or not.

I know the variegated varieties are chimeras so definitely will not grow true to type (the result will be plain green or albino). I tried my common Hungarian varieties and they have all grown true. What about high quality named cultivars?

The clone will be identical to the plant you took it from except in the case of chimeras as you pointed out.

So can you mention any non-variegated varieties which are known chimeras?

If there's no variation how would you know?  It certainly would be of no added value and it wouldn't matter for cloning.
