Since I rekindled my interest in growing musa at home early-spring 2017, things are going well! I started by raising 3 musa sikkimensis from seed, of which the largest one is almost shoulder height now, and then earlier this summer I ordered a Veinte Cohol and a Namwah from Asean Plant Export in Thailand (formerly called Gekko). Both are catching on really well:
The Namwah is the larger one in the back. Both just finished producing their 3rd leaf.

Being five plants and 3 species in, I again ordered 2 Musa Hom Kreaks from Asean last week, and yesterday they arrived!

I decided on the Hom Kreak after asking Peter for recommendations for indoor musas. It is a mutant of the Super Dwarf Cavendish, which will stay even smaller but still produce edible fruit, so they sound very promising
One will stay at home, the other might move to my office as soon as their jet lag has passed and they get used to living in Belgium
Why is it so addictive to collect bananas?
