My first hello

Lis from FF · 06-13-2012, 09:57 AM

During a rare vacation, I was in San Juan, and fell in love with a “banana tree” in my hotel. Last fall (2011) I found an 8” high version of that “banana tree” at Home Depot. Yes, I said Home Depot. There were no instructions or information about it except it was labeled “Tropical Plant -Banana”. On-line, I learned a bit about banana plants and how to transplant them. Six months later, it’s still alive! Go figure. Now I want to learn how to keep it healthy. I just love it!

Make it real happy, move to southern Florida. Just kidding, plenty of answers here and many will help with their expertise. Quite a number of well versed members with an immense amount of knowledge. Good growing and welcome from Florida.
