I had read some concerns (I have been trying to find this specific type of banana for the past two days haha) that any banana with some red coloration shouldn't go in direct sunlight. |
Your plant will likely loose the coloration as it matures.
Many plants have the same coloration when young.
There is a good chance your plant is a Cavendish variety.
All plants mentioned require tropical conditions and will grow best in full sunlight once acclimated.
So you may leave them out in the summer and bring them indoors in the fall.
If this one does not work out you may try some great reddish/purple ornamentals like Musa Siam Ruby, Zebrina or Sumatrana.
