Re: Ae Ae Albino
Chironex: 
Yes, they will be variegated. And you will get white pups. 

Also, in general: a large (plantation) or small (home garden), flat plain is not the natural home of banana plants, neither are pots of any size, though they can live there. So do not expect outstanding results in those conditions.

And to eggo, who said the albino drains the parent of "energy," I say this: that is bone-crushingly obvious. That is why I am so bold as to suggest to leave it there. He has not thought that the purpose of the green and variegated plants is to protect and feed the albino pup. The three are one plant: neither a mutation nor a reversion. Think of it as three-in-one. If this sounds familiar, then there should be no wonderment as to why it was a sacred plant to the original Hawaiians.

It is no different from a baby human "draining" energy from its mother when it nurses. It is called feeding. This is how it grows, which is why you leave it there. Same with the albino ae-ae Hawaiian.
The problem with working with this plant is that humans want to commercialize and make profit before understanding, so we separate and cause death.
