Christian,

Not sure if this answers any of your questions, but about 2 years ago, I had a mother Ae-Ae produce fruit and then we moved. I put the corm with the cut off pseudostem and about 4 pups in a large pot. Over the next 6 months, it produced around 14 pups. As a couple would get big enough, I'd cut them off and pot them up then sell when larger. In the course of the, I got about 5 all white (like in TOTALLY white except for a very thin red edge) pups mixed in with the regular. Never got an all green one. I got a couple white ones up about 2 feet while still attached. It appeared it was just an occasional random pup and they appeared all around the corm. I went away for a week and the summer rains filled the pot and the corm eventually stopped prodicing pups and then rotted. Jarred took some pictures of the corm in the pot with lots of pups including a couple white ones - it is in my photo gallery.
