I was doing some weeding today under a large Ptychosperma Macarthurii that has hundreds of seedlings coming up underneath it.

I spotted a variegated seedling growing about a foot away from the others, on its own. This is a first for me so I’m pretty stoked!  Dug it up and put it in a small pot to keep an eye on it.

Anyone here on Palmtalk find variegated seedlings when you weren’t expecting them?

I hope it keeps it as well.  I don't have experience growing variegated palms, do they lose their variegation very often?  

And yeah, I am blown away on a daily basis out here by plants in general, feels too good to be true!
