Maybe not enough nutrients?  
Whatever it is is causing a lack of chlorophyll.

Yeah maybe! I did plant like 2–3 seeds per starter space because it was my first time germinating anything and i really wanted something to sprout 💀

Could be albino!

if it is albino, it probably won’t survive unfortunately but it is adorable!! and i hope it’s something else so it can survive lmao

Low key same

Lack of chlorophyl probably - that’s why variegated plants get the white coloring to them , could be the same concept
