Re: Red stems, green leaves, fast grower

This is enseten ventricosum, possibly Tarranda Red/Red Stripe or some red-petioled variety.

There is no nutrient decedent or anything, the plant looks fine to me.

Kind regards,
Remko.

Re: Musa sp. yangtse ........ which variety is this?

Mekong seems to be good, you might try it. I'm still getting it big enough untill I dare to try it. They're readily available in the US.
