African Violets and Gesneriads: solid white leaves, 1 by RainGazer

Well great! Maybe it is just starting white and will develop some green! Here are my two that started out completely white. In the back is Ramblin' Ruby and in front is Trinket O' Pink. You can see that Trinket is still mostly white, but there's enough green in there to keep it alive and growing nicely. Both of these were completely solid white when they were smaller, so they can and do start out that way and develop green along the way. Yours looks fine right now, so my best suggestion would be to keep doing what you're doing. I wouldn't move it from where it's at, because, as I understand photosynthesis, if there's no green, there's no chlorophyll, and if there's no chlorophyll, it doesn't matter how close to the lights it is, it's not going to photosynthesize. If it's got green starting in the leaves, hopefully it will continue to develop. And you can see that Trinket put out one leaf that is almost all green, so yours might do that too. :o) Never give up hope!
