need banana help!
 
Hi guys, I recently purchased two banana plants from Amazon, they were advertised as dwarf cavendish. Both plants looked the same initially, but after growing them in pots for a few months now, one has turned reddish brown in color. Both are taken care of exactly the same. Does it look like something is wrong? they are both growing actively, and seem ok to me. Take a look:

I agree with Tony....red is definitely siam ruby. Green one could be margarita, which I believe is a mutation of siam ruby that is green. Neither of the plants appear to be DC. Siam ruby has been shown to have unstable coloration....it can send up green pups which may remain green or may change to the red form.
