if it stays white gonna just protect it with some shade and keep it on the mother plant and see how long it stays alive...

Martin, you probably know this already, but it needs some green to stay alive. I was talking to a friend recently who told me that he purchased tissue-cultured variegated Namwah's from Agri-Starts when they first came out. He purchased four trays of them at 72 each. 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.

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...

Martin - have there been any experiments with different color/spectrum of light that have been shown to work and support life of these delicate beauties of Nature?
If none have been done, since you are such a successful grower of the AeAe variety, perhaps you would consider trying this experiment!!

:lurk: Will be watching to see what happens :) ~Cheryl

Well remember I just got these mature Ae Ae's 2 months ago... so umm I guess I am successful since I haven't killed them yet... hahaha

But I would think that having no green (chlorophyll) the plant cannot successfully turn sun into energy so wouldn't be any light spectrum that would make a difference, it would not be able to stay alive. But keeping it attached to the mother plant I would think it would feed it what it needed for a while I suppose....

There has been talk about the white pups feeding off the mother plant and getting pretty big, but they can't support themselves. It's a short lived novelty.

Re: New Ae Ae pup All white!
 
ya that's what I figured... maybe let it get big enough to get a few good pics then remove the pup.

I've had three albino pups on my Ae Ae since 2005. All died at some point and all were left attached to the mother. I've got one now that is 8 inches tall and as with the others, grows much more slowly than the other pups. I think it actually takes energy away from the variegated pups and will probably remove it by the time it makes the 4th or 5th leaf. They are much more sensitive to cold also.

Maybe water root it?
A fertilizer rich gel soil?
Just my mind working!! :D ~Cheryl
