Hi all Few sources state that sbayi has patches of pink on new growth and just today i noticed these Patches which i have never seen before. For those growing this variety it can be a way to surely identify the variety. Gonna take some day pics tomarrow too. Enjoy

I'm growing something that's supposed to be Sbayi. out of 10 cuttings I started 2 months ago, only one is still alive, and still not doing much. I put most of them in water. This method worked great for me last season, with 100% success, but this season the sbayi cuttings just refused to root. 
If my only surviving cutting makes it, I'll keep an eye out for these pink patches!

Shur hi
Out of all the sbayi cuttings ( about 10) i had only 1 survived.
Probably it is harder to root than the other.

Yeah I thought it was a stubborn variety...
I've had very bad luck with it so far. Last time I tried to root sbayi, the gnats killed my only cutting that rooted.

A day pic
