I remember when Stokes Tropicals was selling Musa basjoo fro $250 each. I waited a year or two and bought a few for $10 a piece. Ae Ae may take a bit longer due to tissue culture issues, but i'll wait for the price to come down before I buy one. I'd much rather have a dark green or red/maroon plant over one with lack of pigmentation. They generally look sick in most situations anyways. They are quite nice when grown in the appropriate climate though
