eyefi thanks for the question!

Here what i see from the pics i think its been light deprived note how its not vary dark red to purple any plant thats light deprived will grow in a spindly fashion it could also be that its been over water this to can elicit a spindly growth response id keep it tided to a support of some kind get it in the ground Ventricosum have some of the largest root systems there corm can reach a mature size of 40Klo this is massive in comparison to other Emusa Banana variates try to learn more about them there not like edibles they come from a much dryer high plains Forest climate were they are water deprived for up to 3 moths at a time this is not so say that you shouldn't water it if its actively growing then water if the temps are high but in the 70 to 80 let it dry out between waterings get it in to the sun theirs no reason it cant be in full sun unless you live in a desert or a vary high mountain region
what zone are you in i see a palm or is that a coconut tree if your in a high humidity climate i don't give it much hope they hate that type of weather most of the people here on the org that live in say Florida cant grow them its just to wet there like i said there a Banana that is adapted to dryer high heat and light climates
good luck if your are in a wet place msg me and all tell you what i think you sould do for it?
