Finally the weather has "warmed" up (barely -__-) enough in the midwest.

I ordered it from forum member's sddarkman619's store. Plant is beautiful and looks healthy and well taken care of. It also recovered quickly from the shipping stress and within a couple of days is already pushing out a new cigar leaf. Would definitly buy from him/them again! (ssdarkman if you are reading this, thank you!):nanadrink:

If any of you have any tips or advice for Dwarf Namwah--especially container grown in colder climates, would love to hear it :)

Pics below.

First was taken on day it arrived.

Second was just short bit ago, showing the cigar leaf that has already pushed out of it--:goteam:

Thank you for the tips :nanadrink: I am happy to hear about the perlite--

I've got a Super Dwarf Cavendish in African Violet potting soil. It's doing great, but with each pot-up I am finding it too heavy for *me*. I have a small frame and carrying this guy from one place to the other is actually starting to hurt my back just a little. I am guessing it's all the water the banana plant itself cause plants I got in larger pots don't even weigh as much. (Whoah boy that's gonna be fun pushing that pot around when the Dwarf Namwah reaches maturity! :ha:)

Time to get some perlite and re-adjust the potting mix of the SDC. :doggyandnaner:
