I have got one of these today. I checked the light conditions needed and bought it home. Now looking further into it do I need a male and a female? I have this one. So do I need to go and buy a white one as well?

That’s a female - it has produced berries. So you need a male for berries in-the future.

Male flower has a ring of pollen producing anthers. Female will have a central sticky style to receive the pollen

Are the white ones male?

All of them, male and female, have white or pinkish white flowers.

white berried ones, obviously, are female
