It kind of looks like a regular banana that they've been growing in no light, or maybe what would happen if you grew them under some kind of light they couldn't really use, like black light or something? Has anyone heard of that, or is there no such thing as light that the plants can't use? Just a guess. It really doesn't look healthy.
Could you put one in total darkness most of the time, and then give it just about an hour or two of light a day, like with a grow light and get that kind of result?
I saw some corms that were growing in the basement of the conservatory in the bulb storage area and they were white like that. But the leaves weren't that nice.
