The question of circumstance...
What is a mutation?
A mutation is a botanical phenomenon in which one part of a plant develops in a completely different way from the rest of the plant. This difference can be :
- colour: a variegated stem on ivy that is not variegated, for example
- the shape of the leaves: clinging leaves on ivy with flat leaves, for example
These mutations are of natural origin. They are not the result of human intervention or hybridisation. They may be the result of the plant adapting or reacting to stresses or changes in growing conditions.
Ivy is very familiar with this kind of phenomenon. This is why new cultivars are constantly appearing.
The most interesting mutations are multiplied by cuttings. If the mutation is stable, it can lead to the creation of a new cultivar.
