Default Re: My Namwah Tall and Kandrian!

Just an update on my Namwah Tall and Kandrian,a few days after the last photos,strong winds broke all leafs on both plants. The weather has been unusually cool here all this past time along with some rains and i had lots of pseudostem rot and very few new growth. My Namwah lost 1/3 to half its pseudostem height and now has 2 rather weak leafs that are half what it had and with a smaller petiole diameter. I only hope it stops loosing pseudostem and grows some robust new leafs fast as it was set back a great deal...I think it was root or corm rot from the rains and cool weather.
My Kandrian also lost all its leafs from the strong winds and had some pseudostem rot too but at a far lesser degree and so far it seems to have not lost any pseudostem height. Its just now growing and opening its first leaf after it lost all its leaves. Seems like it also had root rot and was unstable in its pot but now its pretty firm and growing its new leaf fast!

Here are some photos! Not the prettier sight yet but hopefully on a good way to become beautiful and big bananas!

Namwah Tall






Kandrian


Kandrian in front and Namwah Tall at the back. You can see how much height the Namwah lost as they were both about the same height before...



Looking forward to robust new leafs from both!!!
