:03: hey everyone!
I'm in the UK, just South of London and I recently picked some some sad looking banana plants at a very reduced price from my local garden centre. I grow lots of orchids so tropical isn't new to me but bananas are. I have a musa ensete Maurelli red and a dwarf Cavendish red :woohoonaner:
They have grown and then some so I have repotted one of them as it was so top heavy in its pot it kept falling over but I am not happy with the mix I have put it in as it is really heavy and stays wet too long I think? Not so bad in the nice warm weather but not good for winter so I will be asking some advice about that and overwintering here in the U.K.
Nice to meet you all :)
