I'm pretty pumped as I just got in both of Super Dwarf Cavendish banana plants yesterday.
I've never grown anything before, but have always appreciated plants and love fruits!
After some relatives and friends started some vegetable gardens I decided to give this a try. With any luck I'll get some fruits down the road and at the very least a nice looking plant.
The main challenge here is the cold winters in Massachusetts.
I do have a heated sunroom I'm going to use that has windows on three sides which will be warmer than leaving the plants outside.
Here are a couple pics. #1 has 10 leaves and is about 10 inches #2 has 7 leaves and is about 10 inches as well.
Both look good and didn't get much abuse during shipping.
This is plant #1
This is plant #2
So as you can see they are both relatively healthy.
I have both of them in 10 inch pots.
I used premium miracle grow potting soil, water, and some plant food as well.
Plant #1 seems to have straightened itself a little bit.
Plant #2 is adjusting well.
Today is day 2 for plant #1 and day 1 for plant #2.
Can't wait to watch these plants grow.
Its been fun looking at everyone's pics on here and it looks like some of you are also documenting your SDC growing from a small plant.
