Default Re: Attack of the wild Puerto Rico Banana seedlings!

The seedlings are durable and easy to transplant. I normally collect and store them in a bucket of water, as seen in the photo below, until I'm ready to transplant them. I've found they'll stay in good condition for up to a week in a bucket of water as long as someone doesn't drink all the water, the water is necessary for the roots.

The main thing I have noticed, is all the highly variegated ones, are very weak compared to the all green ones, will they start showing some more vigor as they grow? .....and I'm wondering will the ones all green now, show any variegation as they mature? And of course the main question what actual variety are they? A lot of questions, will be answered in the next year or so..........as always in recent weeks, I am only able to log onto this site very rarely, it's usually down on my end.
