Default Is this ensete ventricosum variegated or chlorotic?

I started noticing some white streaks on part of each new leaf a couple of months back. Each new leaf seems to be showing more and more white on it. I don't have a picture of the newest leaf yet, but can take one tomorrow. These pictures were taken on October 1st. Chlorosis is usually linked to BSV, which I can't comprehend how a tissue cultured ensete in the U.S. could get. I've kept it fertilized pretty regularly also, so I don't think chlorosis is the problem, but I'm sure I could be wrong.







Not very good pictures, I know. The "variegation" seems to be taking place on one side or the other of the midrib, not usually both, with the last picture being an exception. I'll get a picture of the newest leaf tomorrow.
