Dwarf cav question...

djmb74 · 08-28-2009, 11:37 AM

One of my dwarf cav pups is pushing out 2 leaves at the same time is that a problem or should I just not be concerned?

kaczercat · 08-28-2009, 04:41 PM

I dont think its anything to worry about. If it grows and flowers that might look something like a mohoi same stem but two shoots with two flowers ! . neat plant . good luck =]

Pretty cool I think. Just enjoy it and see what developes.

Blake09 · 08-28-2009, 06:02 PM

cool

Eric · 08-29-2009, 09:54 PM

As long as the leaves produce normally and don't block future leaf development, it should be fine. Great looking plant, I have 2 Cavendishes myself! Good luck!

Is that the same as this one?
I am not an expert but you can deduce if it is or not.

2 headed nanner now that kewlllllllll let us know if it grows 2 heads !

djmb74 · 09-01-2009, 07:23 AM

I hope its not a virus... :-(

Your plant seems healthy from the picture. I don't think it looks like BTBV. Watch the videos Dr. Scot Nelson put up from his DVD and that will give you more details about diagnosing such infestation. I think you're good...just looks like some sort of random mutation to me. I'm very interested to see how this turns out!

Abnshrek · 04-27-2010, 08:11 PM

Ok I have a DC and it has a big bulge a foot from top of P-Stem.. An alien isn't coming out is it?

Caloosamusa · 04-27-2010, 08:27 PM

The growth of the main pseudostem is changing direction due to damage above the growth point. The new growth will pop out from the bulge, not from the top as usual. It may have been cold damaged.

Good growing!

fergus banana · 04-27-2010, 09:56 PM

yes, an alien should be popping out shortly. be patient.

Abnshrek · 04-27-2010, 10:07 PM

Well I lowered its pressure so it can uncork itself :^)

Abnshrek · 04-28-2010, 11:22 AM

I like that kinda uncorking :^) & it was fixing to come out the side.

Jananas Bananas · 04-28-2010, 11:36 AM

Excellent, Excellent! So it WAS pregnant!

Gabe15 · 04-28-2010, 02:49 PM

That is definitely flowering but don't expect it to be able to produce much of anything, if at all.
