Re: my little ensete ventricosum
its almost unbelievable to see how they react on sunny days.
we had last week low temrpeatures of 65-70 F with lots of rain and clouds, very less growth. Yesterday it was sunny with almost 75 F and now they are again growing great!

Re: my little ensete ventricosum
that's interesting mine appear to grow very slowly what do you think I am doing wrong?. Perhaps it's the fact here in Nevada you cannot leave bananas in the sun for more than a 4 hours. Maybe I need to feed them more.

Re: my little ensete ventricosum
I think thats the problem for you; too hot and too dry. i think your humidty is too low.
they are growing great here with temperatures between the 73-90 degrees and they love sun here, because the humidity is high. can you post a pic of yours?

Re: my little ensete ventricosum
Yes I will post a picture. To be honest I was waiting to see if they would grow in fuller thereby creating a better picture for you to look at I'm some what embarrassed at their scrawny size. Remember these little guys only germinated in may. So they are very young. Their only just now getting their first or second matured leafs

Re: my little ensete ventricosum
I am in the Phoenix area of AZ. Most of my bananas get no shade ever and we reach over 120f on occasion with constant sun. I think the bananas can take the sun as long as you water the heck out of them. At least the varieties I have can. I am growing quite a few different species, its the winter with desert night time temps that are concerning me, as all of mine are permanently in ground. No potted plants. Although having made the above statement I have never grown any bananas from seed. Only corms, pups, and tissue cultures that I have recieved through the mail. I am way too impatient to do the seed thing.

Re: my little ensete ventricosum
Grate looking Ensete Bigdog not a speck of brown any were on it from what i can see keep up the good work i have to say that my EV don't grow all that fast but I'm probably not doing something right i haven't feed them much as the first time i did they kinda got brown on the edges and the fertilizer was only at ¼ strength i did just recently give them another dos and they have responded some. i have been telling my self that they are growing slowly because there so young! self delusion is one of my best tactics LOL

Re: my little ensete ventricosum
Well, in my experience, when you get them in the ground with good soil, and lots of water, they really take off. Pots really limit their roots, and hence their topgrowth also. I have some two year old Ensete ventricosum in pots that are still about the size of yours.
