Any Banana Experts?

MD &, VA(Zone 7b)

I have a bunch of musa basjoos of various sizes. All are from tissue culture.

This baby seems to be variegated. I know tc'd hosta can "sport" so I assume banana's can too? Is it variegation or a deficiency of some sort? It's gotten the same fertilizer as all the others and is the only to look like this.

Any comments/suggestions welcome.

Here is a close up of the newest leaf

edited to add: it seems like there is more variegation with each new leaf
