(And the realization I posses little self control with these Banana plant creatures)
At a grocery store nursery for 7.99 this *was a steal*--and quite a surprise! Except the occasional Dwarf Cavendish at Wal Mart, we just really don't get banana plants around here.(Midwest).
According to the tag it's "Fantastic Foliage Mix." "Banana." :ha:
One of its leaves was badly bent in/partially broken. So I "fixed" it with some tape and a couple of tooth picks.( I know, I'm lame. lol)
The plant is (leaves included) over a foot tall with a canopy about the same width. I actually think it's a bit taller now. I swear the thing grew overnight...
My question is this:
Normally I do more gradual pot ups. But since this is already hardened off and will go straight outdoors, I was considering plopping it in a 16 inch pot with a 2 or 3 other small plants.
Is this okay for the plant? Or should I do a more gradual pot up?
Thanks in advance! :03:
