Default Re: New Ae Ae pup All white!

Its pup is number 11 2 of my Ae Ae's have 4 pups up and coming and this plant has 3 up and coming including this white one. Perhaps if it stays white it will survive being attached to the mother plant and I can take pics of it as it grows and see how long I can keep it alive... If it eventually startes putting out some leaves with green on them that would be great, but I am gonna make a guess and say it will probably not...

He lost every one of them over the course of four months and so did another commercial grower. He said that they were all pure white, and this was the main problem. For your sake, I hope you get a smidgeon of variegation. There is still time for it to develop.
