i am kinda curous as to why everyones varigated brug seeds keep turning white and everyone says so sad and they wont live.
Why??
has no one had any success on raising an white stalked brug????
seems to me if it sprouted it should live right???
question please
They need to be green to have chlorophyll to make food.
I got this from a good site that explains it.
"Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well!"

imzadi,
The seeds sprout using the energy (food) stored within the seed.
Once it comes up it needs sunlight to make food to grow on .... you know the rest
