Re: bunch of banana pics
Yeah, the bamboo sticks do the trick. The box can take many hits that way without the plants suffering from it. I'm happy they're ok.

Re: bunch of banana pics
i am bumping my own thread...
i had been updating pictures without making a new reply and the list of pictures had become way too long so i have created this folder with all the banana pics which were once part of the thread Bananas by Jeff Yadunno | Photobucket password is: bananas had the plants under a tarp the other night.... i had a 1500W heater going too... to postpone bringing them in and running the lights Last edited by subsonicdrone : 10-24-2016 at 09:37 AM. |

Re: bunch of banana pics
i saw what i thought was another partly unfolded leaf pushing up beside the other leaf...
but it was actually just torn and the other half is what looked like a new leaf this spring my friend asked for a banana plant for his balcony.. and my sister asked for one too. i couldnt part with my plants.. and i wanted to support a local vendor for a while now so i bought 2 clusters of plants from her. one looked like a cavendish and it went to my sister the other guy flopped and it ended up in the backyard of another friend for the summer... just got it back it seems to not like the cold and i think it was underwatered for some time. what do you think? dwarf red?

Re: bunch of banana pics
i have one more which is already separated
i brought the lady(whom i got this from) some of youre mystery pups yesterday afternoon JP anyone out there used to watch the sitcom red dwarf? i was going to post a pic of the cast with a question mark under the pic of the banana plant but did not get around to it i am trying to decide when to bring the plants inside... tomorrow... or do i set up tarps and heaters all to get an extra week outside? leaning towards bringing them in tomorrow. instead of propping the big plants on an angle i might just keep them upright and trim them to fit i am going to pick up the one that is at my sisters place today... ill post a pic of it Last edited by subsonicdrone : 10-07-2016 at 05:30 AM. |

Re: bunch of banana pics
brought the plants in today...
here is my musella lasiocarpa before going in... it did not do so well over the winter last year and it looked similar last fall here it is mid january...... should bounce back come spring here is my biggest cavendish(i think) headed down the stairs this is what the base looks like on that plant... might not be as big around as last year this time i trimmed it and kept it upright this year not much more room to grow though few more plants.. ladyfinger in the centre here is the base of JP's mini mystery nanner after heavily removing pups this one is tangent only problem is i dont have my lights set up yet! got the lights set up 2.5 days later almost all the leaves fell off my plumeria but the bananas seem happy enough started with the spraying of water on the plants and i think they like it i also got some sprayngrow and used that once so far here is the biggest plant hitting the ceiling and here it is a couple days after getting cut shorter ok so last year i got those free plants discarded by the marina nearby well today i spoke with the owner of the plants he had taken 6 pups inside already and said i was welcome to take the rest and here they are indoors with the others the others: some new pics with the lights out so the colour looks more natural.. just after being sprayed down with water little update.. its december when they went inside: and now: my largest plant was hitting the ceiling when i brought it inside the leaf that came out next had to be cut back repeatedly as it emerged what was left of it was only about 8" of leaf the plant slowed right down and older growth died back as it died back i peeled them down to avoid rot and this reduced the pstem height a bit the next leaf had to be cut back to help it emerge but only once and now that is the biggest leaf in the room from the largest to now the smallest plant, JP's mystery nanner JP's mystery banana again one pstem lost some height the other stayed tall... they used to be identical all the leaves showing grew over the winter because in the fall all the leaves were cut in half pretty slow rate of new leaves though should be soon enough that i start bringing them outside started bringing them outside a bit at a time so they could hang out under the cedar tree and get used to the sun ok now those ones are in the sun and the remainder were brought upstairs and under the cedar tree Last edited by subsonicdrone : 06-07-2017 at 10:45 AM. |
