Hi, i have two musa sikkimensis plants. I bought them as "regular" musa sikkimensis seedlings from ebay.

They are in pots, around 60cm (2 feet) tall now and they grow at the same rate.
The shape of their leaves is the same with some red markings on the newest but they differ VERY much in green colour. One is a light green (like a basjoo), while the other is a very deep green (like the colour of the leaves of a ficus elastica plant). Except this they look exactly the same.

I think the deeper green is more cold hardy, as it does't look so tropical like the lighter one, but maybe i am wrong.
Has anyone notice this difference?
