Excessively white plants always struggle if separated from the mother plant. The same goes for Bromeliads. I have a very white Howea palm which is struggling to grow not having enough chlorophyll (in the green parts)to do photosyntheses with.
Thanks for the reply. I love anything variegated. This banana has routinely pushed out lots of white but now its mostly white. We will see what happens. I grow over 240 varieties of bromeliads. The whites burn real easy and I keep them in the shade. I also have lots of different variegated clivias. The variegation is mostly shades of yellow.
