Hi
Hello to everyone and thanks for accepting me onto the forum.
I kept banana plants and germinated seeds over 40 years ago in the uk. I honestly think the plants and seeds were just labelled as “ Banana “ then lol. A few years ago I moved to Portugal to live and would love to start growing bananas again, some preferably from seeds. I love growing plants from seeds. I am not a novice in keeping plants and grow various cycads, aroids, plumeria, Carnívoras plants to name a few at the minute. Come here to learn and ask questions and hopefully post about my future achievements or even fails. Kind regards Neil Last edited by Kodakira : 10-16-2019 at 12:29 PM. |

Castelo Branco is cold in winter and very hot in summer... you have to protect very well the banana plants or other sub-tropicals... Just wish you a very happy journey in Portugal!

Re: Hi
Thank you very much for the welcome. I love Portugal and the people very much.
I have built a large propagating unit for seeds and seedlings for over the winter and hopefully will be setting up a large grow tent for older plants next year. I have the tent but will need equipment. Kindest regards Neil Last edited by Kodakira : 10-16-2019 at 12:07 PM. Reason: Spelling mistake |
