Botanical Name: Musa 'Nono Pink'
Common Name: Nono Pink Banana Plant, Pink-Fruited Banana, Pink Variegated Banana
Family: Musaceae
Cultivar Intro:
Musa "Nono" is a highly sought-after ornamental and edible banana cultivar, celebrated for its dual charm - stunning pink variegated foliage and uniquely variegated, edible fruit. Unlike many variegated banana varieties that prioritize looks over functionality, "Nono" delivers both: its broad, tropical leaves showcase bold swathes of deep pink and lush green, creating a vibrant "living tapestry" effect, while its clusters of fruit mature into pink-green variegated gems that are not just visually striking, but also sweet and palatable.
Originating from tropical regions of Southeast Asia, this cultivar stands out for its exceptional ease of care. With a compact mature height of 1.5 - 2.5 meters, it fits seamlessly into indoor large pots, patio gardens, or tropical landscapes - making it a favorite for both plant collectors seeking rarity and home gardeners wanting a functional, eye-catching fruit-producing plant.

Product Parameters
| Category | Details |
| Propagation Method | In vitro tissue culture (TC) – Ensures virus-free, genetically uniform seedlings. TC guarantees every "Nono" specimen inherits the parent’s iconic pink-green foliage. |
| Plant Stage | - TC plants (Rooting stage), ready for transplanting |
| - TC plantlets (8-12 weeks post-propagation), ready for potting up. | |
| Size Options | - TC single shoot |
| - 72/128-cell plug trays | |
| Growth Characteristics | - Mature height: 1.5–2.5 meters (indoor/outdoor); compact growth eliminates the need for heavy pruning, perfect for small spaces. |
| - Growth habit: Evergreen, clumping herbaceous plant with thick, leaf-sheathed pseudostems (emerging from a central rhizome). Foliage grows in a rosette pattern, forming a full, rounded silhouette. | |
| - Light requirement: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight (4–6 hours daily) to preserve variegation; tolerates partial shade (may reduce fruit yield but retains foliage color). Avoid direct midday sun (fades pink hues) and deep shade (causes leggy growth). | |
| - Temperature tolerance: 22–32°C (optimal); hardy to 10°C (brief dips-protect with frost cloth below 10°C to prevent pseudostem damage). | |
| - Humidity preference: Adaptable to 50–80% humidity (easier to grow than 'Ae Ae'). In dry indoor air (≤40% humidity), occasional misting or pebble trays prevent leaf edge browning. | |
| - Soil/water need: Well-draining loamy soil (pH 5.5–6.5); keep soil evenly moist (not waterlogged) to support foliage growth and fruit development. Tolerates mild drought better than other variegated bananas. | |
| Color | - Foliage: Deep green base with vivid deep pink variegation-patterns vary by leaf (stripes, marbling, or blotches). New leaves emerge with soft pink edges that darken as they mature. |
| - Fruit: Immature fruit is pale green with pink streaks; matures to pink-green variegation (3–4 cm long, in clusters of 10–15). Edible, with a sweet, mild flavor (similar to dessert bananas) and creamy texture-ready to harvest when pink hues deepen. | |
| - Pseudostems: Green with faint pink streaks near leaf bases, complementing the foliage’s color palette. | |
| - Flowers: Small, pale yellow blooms with pink-tinged bracts (appear 12–18 months post-planting, preceding fruit development). |
