  Re: [Aroid-l] Zamioculcas - like Gonatopus ?
From: "D. Christopher Rogers" <branchiopod at gmail.com> on 2018.08.07 at 19:23:15
I will defer to Tom, of course. But to me it looks like Gonatopus boivinii. I was unaware of any variegated varietals.

I like G. boivinii very much and would like to try other Gonatopus species.=C2=A0 I know this one is invasive in some areas and is a pest. But I still find them beautiful. They are easily propagated from leaflets stuck upright into sphagnum. The ease of making more is what contributes to its invasiveness. They are also very sensitive to over watering, and are prone to rot.

Good to "hear" your voice again, Jude! It has been along time.

Happy days,
Christopher

As some of you might know, I import plants from Thailand from time to time (with the proper paperwork, of course) and a recent acquisition has me stumped.

These are called Variegated Zamioculcas - but the petiole has the kinks that Gonatopus do. Is there some kind of new Zamioculcas species floating around that hasn't hit the mainstream market yet? The leaflets are heavily splashed with creamy variegation, and are slender and more elongated.

I'm happy to share a picture if we are allowed?

Jude
