Default What Musa is this? It was sold as Nagensium.

What Musa is this? It was sold as Nagensium.
For me it looks a little bit like velutina, but I am really no expert. It does not really grow in height but produces many ofshoots. This is actually one of 6 or 7 and I bought one 12 cm plant in march/ april.

I uploaded two images to my "gallery", I do not really know how this forum works, but that was the instruction. At least this is what I understood...


Thanks in advance.

It’s a bit hard to see details in those photos, but the plant does not look to be a Musa at all. Perhaps a Canna? Do you remember what the seed looked like?

This could actually be. I wrote to the seller and asked him, what he sold to me. I did not grow the plant from seed. It was already 10 cm high.

I do not think, that it is a ginger. The rhizome is not big enough in my opinion compared to ginger pictures. But I am not an expert.

Thank you very much!
