Re: musa margarita with streaks
I have noticed that some types of variegated bananas will put out solid green younger leaves that develop more variegation with more sun exposure and age, while there are others that will put out variegated younger leaves that wash out to solid green with more sun exposure and age. AEAEs are unique in that they will maintain their stark white/green contrast regardless of sun exposure, but burn in full sun. I have found that most variegated Bananas look their best when grown in roughly 50% shade, though it will delay or prevent fruiting. Even when the variegation washes out in the sun or shade, It should return when you put it back in the opposite conditions.
