Dear Michael,
There was a posting on this list some time ago about an Amorphophallus sp.
seedling that did the same thing, then died, so it must happen from time to
time in some aroids. A friend also had it happen in a few Anthurium
seedlings. Maybe something triggers the 'death' of all the chlorophyll for
whatever reason.
The Best,
Julius
>>We have recieved two lots of Anchomanes giganteus from
Bjorn Malkmus . All have grown very well , and I am hoping for a flower on
the largest one later this year.
But , strange things have happened to one plant from the first lot . When it
emerged from its dormancy last September it was all white . It stayed very
small and did not last long at all . I repoted a few months ago and it
re-shot , but albino again !
