As the plant is unable to make it sown sugars through photosynthesis, how can it survive once the mother plant is gone ? I know one can grow chlorophyll-less plants in a TC-environment (the medium contains all the necessary sugars).

How could we make this plant survive ? Pouring sugary water at its roots ? I'm sure ants and fungi will love it, but would it benefit the plant? What sugars would be needed, concentration, ... ?

I think that if you can't trigger the plant to start making its own chlorophyll, it is doomed. :2190:

Jeff, you think a nitrogen shot will help. Do you have experience ?
