Re: What root rot?
I assume only foliar fertilizing Vickie? Any fert. in soil? Lots of drain holes???
I concur Olaf,
My biggest dilemma will be around winter, when this water grown banana will be brought inside my GH. I will need to supply much more oxygen to the roots because I would like to keep this specimen aquatic.
In order to supply much more oxygen I will be frequently changing Distilled water as opposed to water from my pond. (reducing algae/build-up on water heater element and a cleaner environment for my basjoos roots).
Of course I'd like to have a diluted addition of Fruit Fuel too.
I would like to install a air stone or some kind of carbon filter in the bottom of the pot to deliver a higher air to water ratio.
My understanding is when the light is reduced and limited and/or the temp. goes down; the roots need more O2 than H2O among few other elements. Is this correct?
While basjoo maybe more hardy than others, this Almost seem like an ill attempt/reckless endeavor...?
I'm looking for tips, hints, or instructions for the best way to go about this?
