non green plants are simply plants that are not green in colour because of less quantity of chlorophyll in some species of plants. as chlorophyll has a green pigment and it plays a fairly big role in photosynthessis, these non green plants have a little and that is why they are not green. yet, they can make food from sunlight with that little chlorophyll that they have. another explanation is that the non-green leaves live on saprophytic nutrition.

examples of such plants are: blue Colorado spruce and japanese red maple.
