Janana the pot is about 3 1/2 ft high by 4 1/2 ft wide. It makes you feel like Mr. Wilson waiting for this plant to bloom.

Re: Ensete Ventricosum Flower
I'm just blown away looking at this plant...... IN A POT!! At first I thought it was going to be a photo shop joke...I kept scrolling down.... no joke!! I cracked up about your comment relating to Mr Wilson waiting for the bloom. I saw that movie!
Looking forward to watching this bloom progress! I have a small Ensete Ventricosum that I can see has great potential in a pot if it's big enough. What a green thumb you have! Congrats!!! Deb |

Re: Ensete Ventricosum Flower
moving it last fallI give it lots of fertilizer about 8 to 10 pails a week of miracle gro 24 8 16 and fish emulsion 5 1 1 it seemed to love it and all my other banana plants seem to respond very good to that mix. I HAVE ABOUT 30 MORE ENSETES ON THE GO RIGHT NOW SO HOPEFULLY I HAVE A FEW BIG ONES again next year. My largest one this year is a about ten ft and it is a maurelii and we have about 12 weeks of growing time outside left so it could get fairly big before then, I am going to repot that one this week into a bigger pot .
