Default Re: Resilient little lasiocarpas.

My Ensete Lasiocarpum in greenhouse with supplementary 5 watt LED spotlight. The LED is off only during bright daylight. The plant gets light 24/7.


Although difficult to see, each new leaf is slightly larger than the one that preceded it. Currently, this is my only banana plant that has made that progress. However, this Winter has been unusually sunny. I should add that the atmosphere is CO2 enriched from ventless natural gas heaters. Also, this was the only banana plant that had a bad mite infestation when I brought it inside from outdoors. I eradicated it with Avid and Bifenthrin. Every plant in the greenhouse was sprayed multiple times and it was a growth setback.
