Re: Florida
EGADS! Are these bananas we're talking about or religion, or is it politics? Give it a rest they're fruits!

Re: Florida
Do not use this forum to attack other sellers. If you've purchased something you're not happy with, leave feedback at the channel of purchase.

Re: Florida
Any further posts here are to be about bananas, not attacking others. This goes for more than one person here. Suspensions or bans come next.
Check your egos at the door and try to post things that are useful for others in growing bananas. |

I found out yesterday that tytaylor77 other friends variegated plant died after 2 or 3 weeks. Here are photos of what it look like when it arrived in April.

Re: Florida
Last week Tytalyor77 friend received this Veinte Cohol.

This week Tytalyor77 friend will receive the variegated plant below to replace the one that died. This plant was much less expensive than the plant that died, so buying a quality plant certainly does not have to cost more.

Re: Florida
The VC brick is truly amazing. It has taken off like a rocket. The bricks are a awesome way to do it there is no lost time.
And the variegated dwarf namwah is a beast thank you Keith for helping me add this to my collection. I have been wanting this one for a while

Re: Florida
Well, here is what i got. It's a little rough, but hopefully recovers well. Roots look good.
...I really hate the picture"features" of this forum. I'll get them hosted and get them up shortly. Last edited by Vette-kid : 05-27-2017 at 07:09 PM. |

Re: Florida
Thanks PR. I'm assuming that's just sunburn from lack of chlorophyll in those areas? Mine does that as well but otherwise seems healthy putting up a new leaf every 4 to 5 days. If this one does well through winter here I'll likely replace some of my other variety with its pups (if I get any. ..no pups from any, all about 3 months ranging from 3 to 5ft high).

Re: Florida
Getting back to Viente Cohol --- My mat has 4 pstems that should fruit this summer. Delicious little fruit. The pstem takes on a black coloring as it grows out. Twenty snails are great tasting ------- without the garlic oil!!!

They have other variegated varities also. 100% positive feedback and ship fast! (italics mine.) I also can't help but wonder how on Earth you got a completed transaction including shipping and all on someone else's purchase... But I guess it doesn't say anywhere whose purchase it is, just what it is and the amount, not who purchased it, not even when. I tried searching the item number but it didn't find it. It's all just a bit confusing.
