Cloning a variegated Monstera deliciosa
Following some threads and comments about meristem cloning, cutting propagation, stable/unstable mutations and so on, I've decided to try a little experiment.
The goal is to successfully propagate a Monstera in vitro (easy), but also keep it's variegation, said to be unstable and only passed on via cuttings.
I chose a Monstera because it's readily available, affordable and there are lots of cloning options from leaves, roots, nodes...
I now have to make or get custom tissue culture media.
Let's see how it goes!
