Re: First banana, indoors, many questions
I got a nana!
My husband was the one who wanted one at first, then I got reading and well...
We ended up choosing a Dwarf Cavendish "High Color Mini." It's supposed to top out at about four feet (right now is just over 12".) Ordered it online, it spent 5 days in a box, and arrived with one creased leaf, two yellow leaves on the very bottom, two green leaves, and one just unfurling, but presumably also green.
The question I have now is this: how long for the pretty green banana to develop that splashy "High Color" red/purple I keep seeing online?
It shocked a bit on transplant, but has perked up nicely. It was severely rootbound. I may have been overenthusiastic on its first watering; it's been dripping water off its leaf tips, which Google assures me is just something they do, not worrisome, but which threw my husband for a loop yesterday.
It's cute; I still have no internet at home, so can't post pictures, but the camera and I have an appointment for whenever that new leaf unfurls all the way.
