My Variegated Basjoo was given to me by Tony and it had the markings on it from a small size. Each new leaf that appears comes out plain green then turns variegated within a few days. Pups are very very slow and I have yet to get a decent sized one from it green or variegated.

I also have the Sakhalin, and a Formosana that I grew from seed.
There was another plant that I bought from a plant fair that was labeled as Basjoo and its clearly not.

I know Peter from Jungle seeds had a batch of TCd basjoo ( as he thought) and they had very wide leaves with twice as many ribs in the leaves. So who knows whats really out there????
