Technically not variegation, but close enough I think.
Recently I've had a few cyclamen coum seeds come up with the leaves fully white. Surprisingly they seem to somehow still be alive, albeit very small.

I was just wondering if anyone here would have special suggestions on how I might be able to keep them alive? I assume since they are fully white they are albino, and thus have no chlorophyll, and should not have anyway to live. Sugar water, grafting... the only theory I have on how they might be able to survive long term would be surviving off of shared nutrients from roots entangling normal coum's.

Previously I've had a few daylily seeds come up albino, and I guess it is more common for those. Naturally I wasn't able to keep them alive either.
