Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the novel variety disclosed herein is

Variety denomination: The inventive variety ofdisclosed herein has been given the variety denomination ‘G4Y0002’.

This application claims priority to the Community Plant Variety Rights application number 2024/0575, filed Mar. 1, 2024, which is herein incorporated by reference.

Parentage: The new plant originated as a spontaneous, partial-plant, branch mutation. The mutation was discovered at a greenhouse in Bogor, Indonesia in January of 2022, growing amongst a plurality of cultivated‘Tri-Color’ plants (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,950). The mutation exhibited conspicuously variegated foliage and a high degree of vibrant pink coloration of the juvenile foliage, relative to the parent. The mutation was isolated and grown to a mature size in order to evaluate stability and uniqueness of the characteristics first observed. Upon confirmation of the stability and uniqueness, the new plant was selected for commercialization and given the name, ‘G4Y0002’.

Asexual Reproduction: Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘G4Y0002’, by way of softwood stem cuttings, was first initiated in May of 2022 in a commercial production greenhouse in Bogor, Indonesia. After three subsequent generations have shown that the unique features of the instant cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type.

The cultivar ‘G4Y0002’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘G4Y0002’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘G4Y0002’ as a new and distinctcultivar:

The following observations and measurements were made in February of 2024 and describe a 12-month-old ‘G4Y0002’ plant grown in a 17 cm nursery pot with 21 cm bamboo stakes grown in a climate-controlled greenhouse in Honselersdijk, the Netherlands. Plants were irrigated regularly and given supplemental lighting to provide a consistent 14 hours of light per day. No fertilizer applications or chemical pest control measures were utilized during production.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain characteristics will vary with older or, conversely, with younger plants. ‘G4Y0002’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. Where dimensions, sizes, colors and other characteristics are given, it is to be understood that such characteristics are approximations or averages set forth as accurately as practicable. The phenotype of the variety may differ from the descriptions set forth herein with variations in environmental, climactic and cultural conditions. Color notations are based on, The Royal Horticultural Society, sixth edition.
