✨ Why You’ll Love the Musa × paradisiaca 'Ae Ae'

• Eye-catching white and green variegation that makes every leaf unique
• Perfect for bright indoor spaces or heated conservatories
• Rare and highly coveted among collectors
• Moderate size ideal for containers on balconies or sunny corners

🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light. A south- or east-facing window is ideal. Avoid intense midday sun to prevent scorching the white areas of the foliage.

💧 Water & Humidity

Keep the soil consistently moist, but never soggy. Loves humidity — mist regularly or use a humidifier, especially in dry indoor environments during winter.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use rich, well-draining potting mix. A blend of indoor soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well. Repot as it outgrows its container or when roots fill the pot.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Generally considered non-toxic to pets, but ingestion may cause mild stomach upset. Best kept out of reach of curious cats or dogs.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Fast grower under ideal conditions. Can be propagated by carefully separating offsets ("pups") that grow at the base once they’re mature enough.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Active growth in spring and summer; reduce watering in winter. Protect from cold drafts and keep away from heaters. Fertilise monthly during the growing season.

🐛 Common Issues

• Browning tips may indicate low humidity
• Yellowing leaves often result from overwatering
• Loss of variegation may occur in too little light
