I just recently acquired a variegated Musa Basjoo and would like for someone who already has grown or is growing one to share their experiences with me.
can you share photos of your variegated basjoo? Does yours pup variegated pups? Thanks!

I think I had one, the seller called it "Leprechaun", it was more of a Truly Tiny type of Musa. It arrived at my house very smushed but the variegation was visible- later it would only put out (slightly) variegated leaves during the winter, and green leaves during the summer. Not really a noteworthy plant.

That looks nice! It still has a very healthy look to it with no burn. I really like that.

It reminds me of the one I had, you may see some variegation loss in summer when in good growth, but keep the pot marked and it should come back in fall or spring. You have a nice looking plant!
