String of bananas with a purple flush?

Picked up this #StringOfBananas at a local nursery this weekend, and only noticed once we were home that it’s perhaps a purple flush?! The leaves are not purple but the stems are. I have not watered it since it was slightly damp, and it hasn’t lost any leaves, so hopefully not a bad sign.
2ft to light, direct
6” pot with drainage

The stems are purple because you have a string of pickles, not a string of bananas. It looks healthy as well! (: string of bananas will have a green stem
@keetnasmith aha! That makes sense!
@keetnasmith i didn’t even know there was such a thing and now I HAVE to have one πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯Ή
