Red Banana Plant | 75cm

Botanical Name: Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii'
Also known as: Red Abyssinian Banana or Red Banana Plant
Bold, sculptural, and utterly tropical — Ensete maurelii, the Red Banana, is pure botanical drama. With massive paddle-shaped leaves flushed in deep burgundy, bronze, and green, it adds instant impact and a lush, exotic vibe to any space. Though it won’t fruit indoors, its presence alone transforms a room, sunroom, or sheltered patio into a jungle sanctuary. Originally from East Africa, this fast-growing plant craves light and warmth — ideal for plant lovers ready to go big and bold.
Light:
Loves bright, indirect light and can handle some direct sun. The more light, the richer the colour.

Pet-friendliness:
Generally considered non-toxic, but large leaves may tempt curious pets — best placed out of reach.

Plant Status:
Current Condition – Sunburn on Older Leaves
This banana plant got a little too much sun recently, and a few of its leaves show signs of sunburn (see photos). The damage is cosmetic only and won’t affect its future growth — new leaves are already coming in healthy and strong.
Because of this, we’re offering it at a reduced price. It's still a stunning statement plant, just with a few sun-kissed battle scars!
With the right care and a bright spot out of direct sun, it’ll thrive and grow beautifully.
