Still looking for dwarf bananas??? Would you be interested in a Dwarf Red Jamaican? Am interested in your Passiflora edulis. Let me know. Dave

What do you want for it?

browning at a cut or damage is normal ... just part of the drying of the tissue .. it looks like its planted a bit deep ... that might be why the new leaves look so small.. after struggling to get up above the high media ... can you just flick some of the excess out ? .... a green stem can process light into energy .. so leave them .. that was the proper way to remove an ugly leaf ... eventually .. as new leaves are created. these stems will brown.. and you can gently pull them off ... its not a baby.. its a plant.. water it properly.. and dont love it to death ... i presume the pot has proper drainage ... though that media looks a bit wonky ... ken

Chimeras or chimeric plants occur when cells of more than one genotype are found growing adjacent in the plant's tissues. The most common types of chimeras present as variegations, which provide the example most often used to explain variegations and chimeras.  While the shoot apical apical meristem (area near branch/ stem tips where extension growth originates) produces all leaf cells, some of the cells will be conspicuous because of an inability to synthesize chlorophyll (green pigment). So even though the cells are all part of the leaf's tissues cells of one genotype will be green, while others are white (or nearly so).  Not all chimeric variegations are entirely stable. Periclinal chimeras normally are very stable and are what are normally used in commerce, but it's not at all uncommon for plant parts to revert to the original genotype. USUALLY, this occurs from adventitious buds, buds which form on the plant where they are not expected to occur. Example, buds that form in leaf axils (crotch formed by the leaf and the branch/ stem/ vine it's attached to) would have a much higher probability of remaining stable than buds which form in locations other than leaf axils. So, buds that form at random on the plant, including new stems that arise from root tissues, are much more likely to revert to the original genotype. This is because adventitious buds require dedifferention of tissue and its redifferention into a new apical meristem which might not be able to reproduce the variegation throughout the rest of the plant, or in this case, the variegation formerly seen from the rest of the plant.  All you can do is wait and see.  Al Thank you tapla for easy to understand explanation
