Albinismis a genetic condition where people are born without any color pigment in their bodies. Caused by faulty genespassed down from parents, individuals with albinism cannot produce melanin, which gives color to the skin, eyes, hair, and fur. Albinism, which is not a disease but a genetic variation, is not only seen in humans; animals and even plants can also have albinism.
There’s a reason why albino plants are often referred to as “vampire plants.” Chlorophyll is vital for a healthy plant life. Albino plants, due to their lack of chlorophyll, live their entire lives without performing photosynthesis. Although the plant may appear to continue growing, it uses the initial energy stored in the seed since it cannot generate energy through photosynthesis. Plants with partial albinism may still sustain themselves, but fully albino plants may remain stunted or small—or even wither completely—once the energy stored in the seed is depleted.
Although some scientists can keep albino seedlings alive for a short time using special soil and treatments, it is rare to successfully grow fully albino plants to maturity in a home environment. Therefore, for plant enthusiasts who wish to have these unique albino plants in their homes, we recommend hosting the rare plant leaf with a shock-treated fern frame.
The frame is made of albino fern leaves that have been chemically shocked and dyed. The bottom of the frame is made of removable handmade wood. The color of the shocked plants always remains the same as on the first day. If you want to change the plant of the Copper Frame, you can browse other Copper products, hello@cocodema.com or @cocodemaplants for you write to our Instagram account. The albino fern used in the design is one of the first plants to show signs of life on earth after mushrooms. Therefore, it represents 'abundance' in Anatolian cultures. Albino Fern Copper Frame Care Information: Copper Frames do not require any maintenance. It is recommended to keep them away from direct sunlight during the hot summer months.
