My string of pearls has grown a variegated strand. If I cut this strand off and put it flat down in a new pot of soil will it continue to grow out as variegated?

Not sure but it sounds like it be a fun experiment!

That is too cool!! I’m not sure though id probably do the exact same thing

Most likely!! Seeing that the variegation is continuing throughout the whole strand, it’s likely the mutation is stable. (And congrats omg that is so cool — like encountering a real life shiny Pokémon)
