Re: Ensete Perrieri / Anyone know it /grow it ?
Well,first I soaked the seeds in warm water overnight, then I put them in a pot with some cotton burr compost,perlite and organic compost, about a 1/2 inch deep,stuck it out in the shade-house,in a hot but shady area.About a month later one pops up. The first one, I think I transplanted while it was too small, the second is growing now. I'd say it took about a month for the first one, 2 for the second.The first one never really took off,this one is doing better. I really didn't do anything special too them at all.I had 5 seeds ,must have been pretty good seeds, 2 of 5 in Bananas is strong. I also had a Ka Pluay (Sp?) come up but it never really took off either,died when I tried to give it a little sun.I got them from a store on Ebay, mothernaturesgardenstore, (all one word run together,like my paragraphs...lol!) is the name of it.
