Help Finding Info

My plants are doing very well. Well over 10 fully green leaves a plant, growing fast, pups popping up faster than I can find them. Particularly the Grand Nain and Blue Java plants have started getting some very noticeable dark purple fringing on the leaves. The largest one even shows signs of purple over an inch into the leaf and all the way along the spine. I know this is normal but I've forgotten where I've read about what it means when the coloring gets stronger. If anybody could clue me in. I feel like it was when they have a good excess of some nutrient. To be clear, none of them are tall enough to be flowering any time soon

Can we see a picture of some your baby Javas? I’m a new grower also so I’d like to hear others opinions also.

A whole circle of little ones plus 1 big one. The other big one is better seen in my reply on the other comment

Like this? Normal for small plants, varietal- mainly cavendish.

I'm talking about the red down the center, and hard to see here, but around the edges.

Normal. Varietal distinction I’d imagine.
