Re: Musa Basjoo in NW Ontario
My basjoos seem to be stuck at around 5-6ft and keep generating leaves slowly however they only seem to be gaining about an inch of height for each leaf due to the cold weather.
There have however been a lot of pups, some already over 1ft tall. I have 5 on my biggest one, 3 on another, and none on my greenhouse one which seems to be in a rush to grow now surpassing the 2 I have outside, reaching near 6ft now. I don't think I need to worry about them too much given that the stems are 5 inches at the base, which means the corms must be around 8 inches wide 1ft underground.
If you grow them indoors, I would suggest strong lighting 400watt mh or better, along with less water and they should be able to start out next season even stronger.
