Greetings! Congratulations on your recent banana plant acquisition. They are fun and are easy to grow and they do it quickly. Rich humus soil, light balanced fertilizer with each watering (they love water!---but need excellent drainage) and full sun. They are heavy feeders and also appreciate greensand which is high in potassium. They love manures---horse, cow, chicken. Enjoy! Mark Anthony

Greetings! Late reply, naturally. There is no variegated Basjoo. Ae-Ae can easily be reproduced by tissue culture in Agar solution with the right equipment and proper demand in the market. The variegation in Ae-Ae is directly affected by soil pH---too alkaline and the color turns green. Maximum color is achieved by more acid pH. Mark Anthony

Greetings! Your Ice Cream banana is suffering a number of maladies: ---improper light---the condition began as etiolation as your photo verifies on the stem and petiole ---you are indeed overwatering (with a lack of length of time of direct light and a resulting methane condition set in from possibly poor drainage or sitting in water for too long ---what is you soil mix composition?---too much humus and poor drainage create excess acidity and eventually the aforementioned methane condition ---methane condition encourages small flying insects as they are attracted to the gas vapors of decomposition from the soil and will deposit eggs in the soil which will soon become larvae ---if not too late, remove plant from container and wash off all soil and re-pot with fresh new soil ---indoor culture in winter should include less water as conditions are far from ideal---why not simply store the rhizome in peat until spring? They are quite tough ---this methane condition encourages fungus within the plant and soil ---if indoors place in a southern window exposure during winter---as much sun as possible but not too close to the window pane as light is magnified in the daylight and is cold at night---in fact, remove from close window proximity during colder nighttime hours as this may also have precipitated ill health Good Luck!
