Growth trigger

Dalmatiansoap · 08-10-2012, 03:10 AM

My Orinoco seats on the same hight for almost whole Summer without any newgrowth and its on about 120 cm of pstem with 4 leaves. Plant gets plenty of water and regular organic fert. Any ideas how can I trigger a new growth?
Thx

That's a good one Ante.. since I've never had a problem getting an Orinoco to jump out of the ground. You do any foliar applications?

Dalmatiansoap · 08-10-2012, 04:40 AM

No. What do u suggest for foliar application?
Here is the pic

It looks a lil thin Amigo.. Might need some Fish.. to jump start it..

RandyGHO · 08-10-2012, 06:17 AM

It looks to me that it is reaching for light.

Ante --- what kinds of fertilizer are available in your area?

Ivanov_Kuznetsov · 08-10-2012, 09:01 PM

How's the climate?

Also, literature indicates that zinc deficiency in soil is common in your area. This would interfere with auxin synthesis, among other things. I recommend testing for minerals to verify a deficiency before adding a bunch of stuff to your garden.

I'm not even going to lie. Sometimes a good threat will go a long way. Funny story I had a gold finger that just would not grow. One day I dug up a matt right next to it and threw it over the fence. I told Mr. Golden finger that he only has a few more weeks to start doing something or I am going to dig you out and throw you over the fence. "Don't make me kill you" And with in 2 weeks he started growing fast! So yeah, sometimes you just need to give them a good firm talking to! Or you could be nice and just sing to your plants. All my plants seem to perk up when I sing to them. And I swear I have this brom that only flowers after I sing to it.

Try some Humic acid in the soil wait about 1 week.

Other problem may be the soil. The one time this happen to me I tried everything till I dug up the corm and found the soil around it was to hard and the poor plants was unable to stretch out its roots.

I could be wrong but that looks like it may have been a water sucker or one of those followers instead of a sword sucker. It's very thin, which is what those tend to look like when they manage to get some size. And they're slow... I let some grow on purpose, mostly just for the look but also to watch them, see what they do. I tend to forget which ones I want to leave and I end up ripping them out.

The other option is it is a dwarf orinoco, which don't get big (tall).

Found a nice resource describing symptoms and correction methods for banana nutrient deficiencies: Ikisan - Nutrient management in banana

Is that a trichocereus cactus on the right? What species? Big one
