Default Re: Basjoo confirm?

Dalmationsoap may be right....this doesn't match my basjoo's description. It has the overall appearance of one, but my basjoo (3years old) has no red coloration at all, being an overall soft green with the center ribs being a rich golden-green, and no purple on the leaf edges at all. Mine is hardy outside here, and even with cooler temperatures, shows none of the red colorations you describe. I concur with Saltydad, you need to find someone to make a positive identification.....you may have to change your storage options accordingly too, at least for this one plant. Good luck with this!
