Worth rooting?

Is this peach color sport worth rooting?

 

On another thread they said a yellow sport would not survive. If it were on my plant I would leave it and see what happens. I may send more leaves with some green. If you seperate it from the mother plant now, it may not survive.

I am a newbie so what do I know

Scott - Is there any gray wood below the orange leaves? If so, I'd cut it and root it.

 

Yes there is gray wood below the peach leaves. Is it best to cut or airlayer?

 

I'm not very good with airlayers, so I only use my mistbed for cuttings. Also, as I recall, you need at least 1/4" in diameter, 1/2" is much better, for airlayers. Then you have to consider that the nights are getting cooler. Nah, just cut it and stick it in some potting mix under mist if you have a mistbed, otherwise, keep watering it - don't let the mix dry out.

 

With any new growth, usually the leaves will change and develope their colors that are apparant on the lower, older leaves. Either way, if you leave it or cut it, you'll find out sooner or later.

I will try to airlayer this sport. I have nothing to lose as Dean stated.
