How much do your fertilize? Some times some deficiencies will cause an older pstem to stop growing and reset, and pups will replace it. The paleness of the new pup leaves would suggest it might need a little calcium, and sometimes the stem sheaths will separate like that from low magnesium, but some separation is normal as the pstem gets larger. I have noticed on Basjoo also that the pink midrib seems to show when a little nitrogen deficient, or appears to be for me, because after I fertilize, the pink will go away. Or, does it get very dry at times? Calcium uptake is affected by drought, and it will cause stunting.
