been growing this afghani that had 3 leafs at a time instead of two
easy to clone
it changed a bit after getting bigger…
then it kinda alternates one leaf at a time on three sides
it turned out to be a male, which i wasn’t expecting
but that makes backcrossing a lot easier
so i was looking for anyone that had a phylotaxy female, preferably landrace
to share pollen with
or any suggestions on how to use the pollen, as in, pollenating some other type of mutant plant.
Hey @moldy-old_goer do you still have pollen of that plant? I have a Beldia female that might be interested.
Phyllotaxy is a somatic mutation and is not passed onto the offspring.
thanks for the info.
i assume what you are saying to be true…
i guess my question in response would be,
what about land-races makes this mutation/trait pop up more?
That mutation happens in “ALL “plants to some degree. I think it is just a mistake that happens when the genetics are shuffled.
