Default 5 Ae Ae pups (one albino)

Pup on the left is full albino. The pup in the middle was actually sitting atop the albino corm so it didn't really have very many roots. I'd actually tried to remove the albino a few months back; I had no idea the corm was that big so it looks like I missed a large portion of it allowing it to grow back.


The albino corm was putting out pups like they were going outta style... I counted 9 that had either fully emerged from the corm or were on their way out.


Soooo... I decided that I had to pot up the albino along with the regular pups. I realize that it will probably die without the support of the mother plant, but it was just too remarkable to throw on the compost pile.




There's a similar sized albino on another plant too. It's newest leaf does have some green, but I'm no holding out hope based on the coloration of the pseudostem. You can see a couple of 4-6" pups to the right of the albino with the one on the right looking like it might be albino as well (doh!).
