Hi everyone, I purchased some banana fertilizer off of ebay. It's 15-5-30 from Tropical Delights. Its water soluble. It says to apply only every 7-14 days. That doesn't seem like alot for 1/2 tsp/gal. Can fruiting banana plants be identified by their leaves or only by the fruit. If I don't get these to fruit I'll never know if I got what I paid for. I guess that just helps with the motivation of getting these to fruit. I'm thinking of trying to build a lean to on the house so that I can have them grow during the winter. I think I read that they stop growing below 58 degree fahrenheit. No problem right now we finally got our 80 degree temps with high humidity.
Thanks
Tom
