Can you ID this Desert Rose,This has happen four times this year with me,All plant in the same soil mixture.Bright Red Stem, all white leaves.

Hope for you that it stays that way but no way to identify it at this early stage!

A couple I had like that turned green.

I have had a few seedlings sprout white leaves. However, none of them survived very long,unfortunately.

Yes , it looks like an albino, which will not survive past maybe four leaves. If there is a little green in the leaves it can make it and become a variegated one.

Wowee! I would 'micro graft' it. It probably won't live on it's own. Try giving it a LOT of nitrogen, anything that's very high in the first number. Bat Guano is good, Blood meal, and all sorts of other yucky stuff is high in nitrogen, the stuff that makes green plants green.

The other seedlings had the bright red stem? I had one amongst many that was hot pink with green leaves, it's growing now, should bloom in another month or two. Can't wait to see if it's anything special.

Grafing it maybe the way to go,but its still too small for regular grafting,so I may try a side graft in which I slice the side of a healthly plant and make a small slice in the red one on the side but leaving the roots intact.I've done this in the past with high sucess rate.

Started back making a few Bonsai pots,and they are forsale.Unglazed they are $4.00 each plus shipping.Glazed $6.00 each.Here are part of my seedlings that I moved into the sunroom also.

That's a lot of seedlings.

yeah I have over 2,000 of the little puppies.

WOWEEEE

I'll second that, WOWEE

If my stupid yard was flat instead of dangerously steep, I'd probably be raising that many babies too. Ha, everyone here wants whites. I say I have a double purple and their eyes glaze over, can't imagine such a thing, I guess.

You have me interested in those pots. How much does one weigh? I like the right-hand side one.

The round pot on the right is around 6 oz.As for white desert roses i have a few seedlings but they need a little more growing time.

What a nice project to look forward to. That is a lot of seeds and plants. Great.
