I bought two TC Truly Tiny in December. They were the same size then. I have noticed a disparity in their growth. One has a thicker stem, larger leaves, and is slightly taller. The other is a strange little thing. Generally banana leaves get progressively larger with each leaf emergence. My little nanner will put out a bigger leaf then a few smaller leaves then a. Bigger leaf, etc. It does not seem to spiral as much as it should. They both look healthy, I just don't know why they are growing differently. They are the same age, receive the same care, are in the same size pot, have the same soil, and receive the same light. What is going on?

Hey said they were tissue cultures. One is probably just a bit weaker than the other, it will probably catch up in time.
