Yeah, making that nicely variegated pup the dominate pup was the first thing I did.

Usually when starting with a slightly variegated mother plant getting one nicely variegated pup is rare and getting two would be very rare.

Good choice. Let Gen 1 power Gen 2.


After removing the undesirable pups I partitioned the variegated pup from the mother plant and raised the soil level for the pup by 8 inches.

Anyone that's grown on an incline has noticed that pups on the uphill side have a higher growing point than the pups on the downhill side. The partition is an easy way to replicate that.
