Re: I need help, an update
I thought I would give an update on the plants, I put a lot of sawdust in the dirt in the greenhouse, and gave the small ones dirt.
The big ones leaves kept growing out smaller and VERY crippled, they would trap in the next leaf and i would have to open it, the one big plant stopped sending anything out and the second sent out a 4" leaf that was pale and crippled, the third also kept sending out smaller leaves to about 1' before they might have been 5', then i noticed that the pups were growing out nicely from the third plant, it started sending out a little bigger leaves, until just two days ago i noticed it got smaller again, I was like "oh no" but i noticed it was thick, i peeked around the corner and there was the flag!!! I could hardly believe my eyes, it was just a year old, my other two were about 1 1/2 year old plants, but it is! I can see the flower already.
With the little plants most of them grew out of the bottom, I am planning to make a grove outside the house just for fun, not planning to get anything because they will freeze back every year.
Now I have one question, has anyone ever grown a banana and got bananas from a water sucker? Thats what this plant is, I cut both sword and water suckers and the water suckers seem as strong as the sword after a little bit. Just curious as I here they aren't plants you want to keep.
