Albino flytraps.?!?!

Look what i found!

is this a variety?

On ICPS or terraforums, if you read their posts about it, they basically say it may be cool but a plant without green = death because it cant photosynthesize properly and that means less growth.



In all honesty I think that plant was bleeched or photoshoped.

I got a couple of those in TC. I still can't tell if they will remain albino when they grow. I can tell that it's not the light coz the TC vfts from dvg's seeds gave a lot of variations. Dente, Red Dragon, albino and maybe some huge typicals. We'll see when they grow a bit bigger.

Hello,

Will do but they are only around 5 mm in size. I got a picture from the same batch and you can see the different varieties under the same condition. I will take a picture of the tiny Albino later.

how do you propagate like that, that's called tissue propagation right? is it elaborate or easy? Alrighty then please i'd love to see it.

[hackerberry]

Yup, it's called TC. There are threads in the Tissue Culture section that will give you the general idea. I hope that the Albinos would stay the same, I can send you some in summer if it's successful.

Keep an eye on plants it could still throw some more mutations.
