I may be wrong about this; but I don't think you have much chance of getting a variegated citrus from a seed. More likely, for example, if you plant a seed from a variegated lemon, you will get the original lemon; the variegated comes from a "sport" and the best way to get another variegated is to root a cutting or take budwood for grafting from a variegated limb.

I have numerous divisions of Giant Papyrus, papyrus cyperus. These are listed as pond/bog plants but can be grown in a container just like any other plant. I've recently tested its ability to go from pond to container and it started pushing a new frond within a week, with no special treatment or wet conditions. I also have elephant ears, fig cuttings, beauty berry (seeds and cuttings) that I can trade. I would love a finger lime, meiwa kumquat, or Pink lemonade tree. Open to other trades.

Regarding your pink lemon from Target; mine arrived yesterday (NC) and it was pretty well packaged. It sounds like yours suffered a bit during shipping :-( Yours looks very similar in size and condition to mine. I actually think they both look pretty good! Mine has some holes in a few leaves and about ten leaves had leaf miner damage (the edges were rolled tight). I gave mine a shower and will probably spray it this weekend with horticultural oil after I repot it. There’s not much you an do about leaf miners - just keep a close eye and squish anything that moves! I recommend keeping it separate from your other plants for a while. One thing I noticed about the pink lemon as I was inspecting it, is how fragrant the leaves are - much more so than my Meyer lemons and key limes. Happy weekend!

There are tiny black spots on some of the leaves and stems. They are on both top and bottom, on top they are around the vein of the leaf, on bottom they are anywhere. They do not wipe off, scrub off, or come off at all. They don’t look like anything I can find on google. I believe they are spreading, slowly, but maybe I’m paranoid and just didn’t see the new spots previously. Help!
