A growing point is constantly on the move and the grower can manipulate this for propagation.

A hobbyist can buy a variegated A'ea'e and move the GP up then cut off the bottom part of the rhizome. Now they have the option to sell the original plant and make pups from the lower rhizome or just collect a massive variegated forest.

The GP in the photo below started on the far left and went downwards for a while then did a U-turn and headed upwards, then went laterally a little bit and finally found a passage to reach ground level.
