Re: Albino Anchomanes

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at msn.com> on 2002.04.24 at 16:08:02(8623) 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 +More >>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 !
