I would limit the sun that the siam ruby gets at first or the leaves will get scorched. When i took mine outside and it was green like that it got fried. Im sure it will be nice and red in no time though. Good luck with them.

I got them off ebay from hortus119. He has a lot of really nice stuff and i couldn't be happier with how quickly i got them and how well they were packaged.

Yeah i agree with you guys about the ruby. I am actually keeping them all in my lanai that only gets morning/evening sun to help them adjust. It is insanely hot right now and the sun might even scorch the other ones as well.

Very nice looking Banana Plant. I guess your going to have to cut that pot to get it out w/ the pups intact. Plants will overcome adversity.. :^)
