Hey guys,
after a long period of non-activity on this fantastic forum, i can only be sad to see some of my loverly musa's and other plants dying (not because of frost) but due to i assume:
too much (rot)/too little water, too little light inside, lack of nutritions. I'm still learning a lot about how to treat best those little sweethearts.
Is it hard to maintain musa's during winter inside in Europe or is it just me not being educated enough with musa's?
Please share your opinions in this topic.
Condolences send to my:
ensete glaucum ( small seedling, the only one from 50 seeds ) RIP
Too much water: leafs were getting dry and very thin, then i checked the base too encounter rot)
musa basjo red big plant ( changed his name too : musa basjoo rot ) RIP
I think the pot was too big, thus maintaining too much water inside
musa sik darjeeling ( only specimen i germinated myself from 20 seeds) RIP
musa acuminata sumatrana small plant ( rotted but is showing a new sprout)
Problem was that this nanner was cutted from a motherplant, and i think this wound made it vulnerable for rotting tissue in combination with lack of growth
I really feel bad loosing all my little plants after doing much trouble collecting them.
I'm doing everything now to maintain the rest of my sweethearts.
Ooh my failure make me feel like
An opinion from my respected nana-collegues would make me feel better.
