My husband broke his finger doing some work and we were going to a CVS store at 9 pm to look for some bandages.While my husband was looking in the pharmacy section I was checking the flower section. I found outside the store a very bad looking plant that looked to me like a banana. It had all leaves dried up with the exception of the middle one. It had no label ,no price. When i brought it inside to ask about it the cashier did not let me sit it on the counter because was looking so bad. I got it for $4.
As soon as i got home i cut all dried leaves and i found a little pup coming out. It was so dry that it took me 2 days of watering t make the soil moist. Since I bought it 2 weeks ago it grow 2 more leaves and another pup is showing up.
The question is: Is this a banana ? what type? A super dwarf?? It is 21" from the soil line to the top of the cigar leaf.
I know is not a cavendish since is smaller than my cavendish I bought a month ago and it does not have the redish stripes on leaves either.
