Yeah, I agree....just normal color development. Red isn't really anything to worry about...if it were brown/squishy, then I would worry....but not for red.

No problem at all. I have the opposite problem with my eneste maurelli, its suppost to be red and is turing green!

Perfectly normal midrib colour development. Don't worry!

I concur. Enseste Ventricosum Maurelii are supposed to be very red. ENJOY! Btw.. they get HUGE! :woohoonaner:

thanks to all!!!!!!
i was kind of worried! for what i can say ensete glaucum has not a good rate of germination , just 3 of 40 germinated and so i was really sad, eheh
But anyway they don't seem to get so :02::goteam:huge. 3 months in a growbox in perfect light and heat condition and they grew just 16 inch ( 41cm) tall, isn't really so much, is it?
