I once had a Mini Neo Meyendorfii which was very well known for is unstable qualities, at one stage there was a deformed variegated plant with a poorly variegated pup on one side and an albino on the other. A lady who came to buy plants one day, especially liked the albino mini pup and wanted to buy it right or wrong; when I told her I wouldn't sell it because if it was separated from the mother it would die, she then said that she would take the whole plant. Again I said that I wouldn’t sell it because it was too unstable and she wouldn’t know what she was getting from one year to the next. In the end she got a bit ”huffy” and stormed out of the place, and I think to this day she thought I was telling her lies. Below is a pic of the plant in question All the best, Nev. |
