Default Re: How are everyone's banana plants this winter??

Had a single frost happen in Pyrgos over a month ago and almost all banana leaf blades were toast... The rachis didnt damage though on most. That worries me a little since my ''Kandrian'' is really close to fruiting and hope it grows some leafs before it pushes an inflorescence. A little over 3 weeks ago i found a new green leaf on one of my potted bananas and the spears had grown on most of the grown planted ones too,upon my arrival to Pyrgos so hopefully they may have grown more during my absence. I will be visiting Pyrgos again in a week or 2!

The TC banana plantlets i am overwintering in my basement along with a yearling TC banana,are hanging in there,some doing better and some worse,depending on their location. Some are really loving the heat(20-22C) and grow well,with sturdy leafs,the few that dont do as well its mostly because they dry out sooner than i get to water them,and are a little desiccated...I working on fixing that...at least i am having no rot problems this winter thus far with my bananas!
