Found in the wild in Indonesia, it is almost certainly a wild subspecies of Musa acuminata, such as M. acuminata ssp. zebrina or something similar. Since only one plant was found, it is not known whether this is a newly discovered distinct subspecies or a random variant on a previously described subspecies of Musa acuminata, field work needs to be done to detirmine its stats i got that from the Wiki so i dont know how up to date it is

Only one of my Siam Ruby pups shows red coloring? Is this normal? Will the others color up as they grow? Thanks guys.

They will redden with sun exposure.

The more it is exposed to the sun the deeper the redness. I peeled a leaf off and the p-stem was green underneath. In a few days it turned red in the sun..Good Luck
