Young plants more often than not change coloration as the plant matures, though even subtle changes in pH at the cellular level can change the wavelengths of light reflected from the foliage, which changes our perception of the colors we see. What I'm cautioning against is thinking the more attractive coloration of the offsets should be seen as a permanent thing.

Yes you can remove the offsets and start then in their own pot, then do what you would with the parent plant.

Wow, I never gave it a thought that the coloration I see on the offsets would change and that I would end up (basically) with a plant that looks like the mother plant (dull and plain). Well, I guess I am leaning towards removing the offsets and taking a few cuttings of the mother plant. It might be fun to see how the propagated leaves develop.

'Moonshine' needs a lot of light to stay bright. The more light, the lighter the color of the leaves. There is some in this pot with 'Whitney.'

I took one of my pots and took it apart. I removed the offsets and potted them up. I brought them to my horticultural society and have only one small one left. I hesitated to throw out the mother plant, but it had some damage and just didn't appeal to me. So out in the trash it went!

I did wonder whether my sans was Moonshine, Tiffany. I do see the resemblance in the offsets that I have in my other pot. I think I will keep a couple of the offsets, give them good light and see how they develop. It's always fun to wait and see what happens. As for the mother plant of this next pot . . . I'll determine its future when I dismantle it.

Your plants, Tiffany, are looking happy! Your Moonshine is attractive, but your Whitney is outstanding! I don't think I've seen this sans anywhere here yet.

Going to go look in the trash and then come back to comment . . . . . .

I really like the idea of taking the mother plant outside to grow pups. It's always fun to see what happens with plants when you change environments.

It just may be that the new pups will not look that good and become as boring as the mother plant itself, but it just would be an experiment! I have also just began using a indoor light system. I may place one under the light and see what happens! Great suggestion Tiffany!

I'm glad you think it sounds like fun! That's what I do with some, the pot in the pic is just 2 clumps plopped there from smaller pots. As I get time, I'm going to spread those around the ground too, like these that have already been done.

Tiffany, you have a much better growing zone than I do! Great job! I bet your sans just love it at your place! I may plant one or two offsets in ground and then keep a couple potted up. I'm not sure the sans would like my garden if it is watered too often since I am a "hosta" girl! But experiments are fun!

Thank you for the kind comments! If we could ask the Sans, I'm not sure they would say they enjoy being moved around & uprooted so often, but I have fun using houseplants as landscaping until I finally get enough perennials to fill up the spaces.

I just worry about taking plants outdoors and then bringing them back into the house. I got thrips on my calathea zebrina that way. Tried to battle them for a while, but then ended up throwing out the plant. Fortunately, the thrips don't fly that well and didn't make it to the other end of the room where I have a lot of houseplants! A closeby plant was a sans that I definitely dry out between waterings. I saw one thrip on it, but the thrips didn't like that environment. We are not able to get insecticides like we used to, so treating infestations is time consuming. I've also lost several amaryllis bulbs to virus too. Only have two left and can't find the ones I love so I won't be buying more.

Tiffany, as to your sans perhaps not liking being moved and uprooted----you're letting them know who's the boss! LOL!

Going outside can be a trial for plants for various reasons. I've been doing it for too long to stop now. This past winter, I had over 100 pots but I try to have no more than 100 most winters.

I don't use any 'cides. Anoles crawl all over the plants, and hummers visit the blooms. I don't feel qualified to be the boss of nature, just an observer and admirer.

Part of my porch last summer.

100 pots! Wow! Keep up the good work! We don't have anoles crawling around here, but that would be cute. Hummers are always welcome!

I also have a lot of pots, but they are generally smaller sized and not as nice as yours Tiffany! Thanks for the showing us some of your gorgeous plants!

Thank you very much for the kind words. : )
