Re: Before you buy a variegated banana
I am not trying to discourage people from buying variegated banana's. I am just
giving my observations of the white variegated plants. I live in Canada, we can't just
plant a Banana tree in the yard and expect it to grow just fine like in Hawaii, California,
or Florida. I was just merely suggesting people consider where they plant their
variegated banana carefully. If I lived in Florida or similar type of climate, I would
plant my variegated where it does NOT get afternoon sun and preferably next
to a pond. I have found that no matter how much I water, fertilize, or light it gets
the white parts burn easily without high humidity. All one has to do is take a good
look at the plants being offered for sale. It is clear they burn easily in even excellent
growing locations such as Thailand and Hawaii. If you look closely at all the pics you
can see white parts burnt. Unless there is a Magic strain of AeAe out there that
that doesn't burn easily, there is no getting around it with the white variegated varieties.
