Albino plant - a white yellow peter pepper

Nick M · Mar 25, 2010

One of my yellow peter pepper plants is intirely white, what could have caused this ? And will it survive ?

I'm afraid this peter pepper has an STD... so do i need to give it antibiotics ?

Give it a double shot of penicillin.

I think thats pretty cool actually. I would grow the little guy just to see what it produced. :think:

It will die very soon. Without the green it will not be able to make food for itself and will perish.

Its almost glowing its so white. LOL Hopefully Millworkman is wrong and it lives, time will tell, but I think the green IS responsible for photosynthesis.

I had two pop up this year that were white, didnt last more than a couple weeks, sad...

I guess you are right, it's already growing much slower than the other plants, so i think it will die pretty soon... it would be really cool if it stays alive

I bet it will be shorter than the other peters

and if it were black it would be bigger than the other peters? Don't give in to the sterotypes. :lol:

So has it died yet???

With a heavy heart, I regret to inform you that Zwartje passed away this morning. After a long & unfair battle with chlorophyll shortages and its varied complications, Zwartje died in his sleep early this morning.

I had one all white Caribbean Red this year and same thing, I knew it would not survive due to the lack of chlorophyll..... only lived about two weeks.
