Here goes...
I grow in a warm greenhouse in New Jersey, zone 7. All plants summer outside on the deck and go into the greenhouse in October. I have two varieties - Dwarf Namwa and Super Dwarf Cavendish. The D. Namwa is doing great. Got it last fall and it is already pretty tall. No pups yet. The SDC has finally set a flower after waiting 4 years. Have loads of pups from it.

Hers's the thing, now that it is growing bananas, I'm starting to get a little nervous. Don't want to do anything wrong at this stage. Do I increase fertilizer?
Add more potassium in the form of potash? Never, ever let it get too dry?
Let the bananas ripen on the plant or cut the off? If cut them, when?
Help!
Welcome aboard,Tis the place to learn,and have fun...
