Default Re: Musa sikkimensis Red Tiger - the red color vanished

New leaves tend to be more red and as they get older the red fades.

How much red depends on luck. I have had 'ordinary' sikkimensis that have been very very red, but then 'red flash' that haven't been very red at all.

It's all down to genetics and luck
