Verigated leaf?
Is this a growing phase or a variegated variety?

Re: Verigated leaf?
Actually, if that's something in the Mysore subgroup (it certainly looks like it is), it could be banana streak virus. If so, you should probably get rid of it if it persists. Also be careful if you have citrus or pineapple mealybugs in your area, because they are the vectors. It can spread to your other banana plants if you're not careful. I say let it put out a few more leafs and if symptoms continue then pull it.

Re: Verigated leaf?
All of the viruses have me freaked out, I am afraid to even order Cannas anymore.

Re: Verigated leaf?
In most areas of the continental United States (with the exception of parts of South Florida), diseases aren't an issue as long as you care for your plants properly. Varieties in the Mysore subgroup have BSV DNA encoded into their genome, however, and the viral genes are sometimes expressed when the plant is stressed. Is that a newly planted pup? If so, the transplant stress could have caused the viral genes to become expressed. If the symptoms persist, I say pull it.

Re: Verigated leaf?
I removed my first post because after further research I realized that caliboy1994 and robguz24 are right.
Here's a link on BSV Invasive Species Compendium / banana streak disease |

Re: Verigated leaf?
Still looks like Mysore with BSV to me.
