Depends on your objective but if you are going for a flower I would remove all pups as they will pull energy away from the Mother plant which with only a couple leaves she will need. Pot up a replacement plant for next year.

Yes, I'm hoping for a flower, have already taken 4 pups off and have 3 more coming on so will remove them also. I have other D. Cavendish plants so have them to fall back on if Mother blooms. Thanks for replying.

Nor sure, but that MIGHT be a flag leaf

That would be nice if it was.

Going to dig the Dwarf Cavendish up tomorrow and take the pups off. After two years waiting, it never flowered, chose to put off pups instead. Have cut it down as far as it can go without seeing any Mother growth other than pups. [IMG]

Looks almost painful....

I have acquired a 5 gallon bucket of rabbit manure.....how much and how often can I use this with the banana plants.....do I just scratch it in?

mari@adams.net · 07-13-2020, 03:24 PM

I think I'm seeing a flag leaf on one of my Basjoo plants. Do you think it is a flag?[IMG]

The Mothers are 2 months old from uncovering this Spring.....was hoping to get a bloom this year as this is their second year. I have 3 or 4 others that should also bloom....anxiously waiting for more flag leaves. Thanks for the Congrats. [IMG]

Thank you for saying so....I can look out my front living room window and see them. Love seeing the big leaves...so much green.

mari@adams.net · 07-17-2020, 06:29 PM

I tried to move the leaf that I thought might be a'flag' on the Basjoo (it was coming out twisted) and it tore so finished tearing it off...then another something is taking it's place....it is a funny looking albino looking leaf or something....don't think it is a bloom, guess time will tell.[IMG]

Looks interesting......That thing is growing like a weed

mari@adams.net · 07-18-2020, 07:52 PM

Don't know what is going on here, but the new leaf (?) is very pale and spindly....thinking it may be stuck. All new leaves have been nice green cigar leaves on the Basjoos. I've tried to help it along a little thinking it is stuck.

I thought the leaves were stuck as one came out twisted....whatever it is it certainly is puny looking to me.

mari@adams.net · 07-22-2020, 08:00 PM

I cut the puny looking leaf (I cut it open and it was a leaf) off cause there is another leaf coming next....kind of twisted again but am going to leave it alone to see what happens next. Anybody have this kind of thing happen with their plants?
