Default Before you buy a variegated banana

Anyone considering buying one of the white variegated banana's should
be aware that if you do not live in a humid climate, or have the
ability to provide a humid climate for the banana, it will never look
very good. The white parts will burn up really quick and turn brown.
Usually from lack of humidity. The yellow and green ones are
much easier to grow and don't have this problem, but they
don't look as nice either. I found the same to be true with
the white variegated Monstera Deliciosa. It burns up real quick
when the humidity is low. Just something to keep in mind before
you spend the big bucks. Anyone that would be willing to send
me a peice of stem of a yellow and green Monstera Deliciosa, I'll
make it worth your while. Gave up mine when I started growing
the white one and have been sorry ever since.
