gabe I'm sure you are more knowledgable than myself however I do believe that i have maurelii and when indoors and out of the sun they lose most of the red coloring on new leafs just leaf midrib and edges remain red while you are probably correct just thought I would mention this




The species is Ensete ventricosum. 'Maurelii' is just very red tissue cultured selection. The plant in question does not appear to be 'Maurelii' to me (this does not affect any recommendations on how to treat it), but could be and was just in a very shady nursery, but I wouldn't bet on it. 'Maurelii' typically has much more red especially on the leaf lamina, and the many of the common non-'Maurellii' E. ventricosum plants sold in the US still have red on the plant, typically just in the midrib.[/quote]
