So I got a pack of S. flava rubricorpora from the seed bank a while back, and they're doing great!

Except one, which is... I'll optimistically call it variegated. A little over half of it is solid white and it's looking VERY scraggly compared to its siblings.

Anyone have any ideas for helping the little guy survive? More light? Prune off a couple white leaves? Just leave it and hope?

My grow list : )

My son, who has every disease:

Its first three pitchers were all white and I thought it would die once the seed leaves couldn't support it anymore, but the latest one is green and not stunted so hopefully it has a chance?

Currently in peat/perlite with a couple osmocote pellets that I added a few weeks ago, maybe 10 inches or so from a white yescom led panel that's on about 14 hrs/day.

My grow list : )

Yeah, I don't know. Sorry. My guess is it's just a runt but I don't have much experience with sarr seedlings
