one more thing i found my ae variegated bananas when inside for the winter because they dont get very good light the new leaves tend to come out very heavily variegated and if they come out to white you can run into problems with them starting to rot out in the center ,I had to wak my almost 6 foot tall ae because of this problem so on my other ae bananas i started giving them a little food to keep the leave more on the green side verse on the white ,,ae bananas are very tricky to winter over inside a house and they hate it when i bring them in for the winter ,they do not like the change!
Woops, scratch that suggestion. I guess it's wishful thinking...
