Default Re: M. dwarf namwah pearl flower/banana bunch?

LOL yes Taylor mine is still kicking. For a few months there i thought it was over for the little guy. But he held on and made it through a somewhat mild winter. Its about 10 inches tall now(5 inches tall last year) and pushing out new almost white leaves. I noticed that new leaves will turn a light green after a week or two. By far the slowest growing banana on earth. Like i have said before, i think it thinks its a cactus. I have it in a 15 gallon plastic container in filtered sunlight. During the winter it was exposed to high 40's to low 50's (F) Day time or morning temps. Covered when temps.were lower then 45F. I will post a pic soon. Soon as i can get my dam cam to work!!!
