Default Re: Baby Musa Basjoos Arrived Today – Now What?

my first year basjoo I grew under grow lights in the winter in a pot till it warmed up around may15 th I was able to put it in the ground at around a foot or little more. By end of October when I cut it all down which was really sad to do.it had 5 tall pups around 3 foot or 4 foot of pstem and pushing up like 5 or more small ones. So with 11 plants you are going to have a lot by the end of the season. I don't know about planting them when they are still very young. I planted mine in full sun and they were grown inside all winter so they got sunburnt. But I knew they would just grow more leaves fast and those burnt ones would just come off later so if they weren't outside and used to the sun you might want to let them adjust some to the sun if they are really small.i don't know about this some of the more experienced growers might know if it matters or not.
