Bananas. org is back on line again today but has been off for a few days once again. The following is an old message I was in the process of posting when this site went off again so these plants have grown since then.....
Well My Uganda Ensete seeds broke soil on January 11 and the below pics were taken yesterday Feb 7. So in less than a month the plants are about a foot tall from soil line to leaf tips. One has 3 full leaves and a new one emerging. The other one is working on fully opening it's 3rd leaf. It's hard to see the finer roots in the pic but you can see they have a strong root system. I only took them out of their pots because some roots were coming out the bottom of the cups they are potted in and I needed to tuck them back in. They are strongly seeking light. I have them in a south facing window where they get a couple hours of sun a day and light from a small CFL bulb till about 10 at night. If you look at the left side leaf you can see another leaf peeking out from below it and doing a great job of hiding itself. These things are beasts! I am going to have to repot them again this weekend. Also am getting a grow light to get them the light they crave.
