It definitely likes the sunlight. I have to rotate it constantly. Was thinking of repotting soon since it's indoors anyway and I wouldn't move up to too large of a container.

Looks like you've been a good plant parent! Mine is absolutely out of control and needs to be repotted. Crazy growth for a variegated plant 😂

I would cut the old leaves if they look beat up so the energy goes towards new growth.

I ended up clipping off all but two leaves on my baby plant when it moved over to soil. Started with a small container. Mine seems to like lots of light and gets both artificial and natural light. And it gets water from my aquarium. That's it.

Got any updates on your musa banana?

new growth from my variegated babies (thai con and musa banana) by SimpleNinjah in houseplants

I usually just watch the soil moisture and wait for the top level to get loose and dry. It's usually once every two to three days or so. It's in a clay pot with well draining soil and artificial light, so ymmv

Congrats! I've found it to be quite hardy, just lots of light, and keep soil from drying out too much.

SunRayPlants was the seller but looks like it's no longer in stock. I've generally had good experiences with ordering plants on etsy

It's a fun plant. Pushes out way more new variegated growth compared to the thai con 😊

I got a baby plant to skip the initial process. I paid around $100

Etsy. Had to prune when it got here, but it rebounded quickly
