Best Answer

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.

Plants that do not appear green contain a higher level of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins occur in the cell vacuoles of many plants, typically in fruits and flowers, but can also appear in leaves, stems, and roots. Anthocyanins typically appear more readily in the fall.
