Unfortunately the variegated basjoo was a failure to thrive. Due to the variegation the lighter portions of the leaves would burn out and eventually lead to the death of the leaf as a whole. Even in the shadiest part of the garden where it got absolutely zero direct sun. At a certain point it became stunted due to lack of light and the pstem began to get mushy.
I tried to rehab it by putting it into a pot and giving it just morning sunshine and then moving back to the shade before noon, but it was too late.
Those two bordelons will eventually be moved to a sunnier location, they were originally there to help shade and protect the variegated baby
