My new Mysore!

caliboy1994 · 11-29-2011, 09:47 PM

I finally got my new Mysore plant! And it's HUGE!

Can't wait to plant it next spring. I'm going to plant it right before Greek Easter (April 15th), so that it looks great by the pool while we're having our annual pool party. As for now, that pot that it's in is pretty tiny for its large size, and I'd have to say that this beautiful plant deserves a nice repotting.

I absolutely LOVE the color on the p-stem and petioles! Can't wait for it to bear and give me some tasty fruit!

momoese · 11-29-2011, 11:23 PM

Wow! Was that a local delivery?

caliboy1994 · 11-29-2011, 11:26 PM

Yes, it was. Local delivery costed around $20, the actual plant was around $30.

momoese · 11-29-2011, 11:32 PM

It could certainly benefit from a re-potting.

caliboy1994 · 11-29-2011, 11:32 PM

I have a 25 gallon pot handy, and I'm going to repot it into that this weekend.

Kostas · 11-30-2011, 02:40 AM

Very beautiful! You must be happy to have it!

A 25g pot is quite heavy and difficult to manage when the planting time comes,which will inevitably result in many broken roots,something certainly survivable but not the best for the plant and its stability. If you have one more month of warm temperatures(20C high),it would probably be better to ground plant it now instead of repotting it. The drainage in the ground is usually better and the plant will be more stable,even with its current root system. And with 20C temperatures,it will have the chance to grow some more roots and be better prepared for winter! A frost and low temperatures in general,are harsher to potted plants than ground planted ones and rot is less likely in the ground if you have an airy mixture and plant it mounded.
Otherwise,it may be better to leave it as it is till spring,and move it under an overhang in cold nights. The more sun it receives at this time of year,the less the chance of rot

Low temps. are into the mid 40's.May not be a good time to plant in the ground,may as well wait till spring.

momoese · 11-30-2011, 09:58 AM

If you leave it or repot it but plan on leaving it outdoors put it against a south facing wall if you can. More warmth that way.

Kostas · 11-30-2011, 10:55 AM

We are having about the same lows in Pyrgos as well but day highs are around 20C and the bananas grow some,especially the ground planted ones. For this reason,if correctly done and ground planted in well draining,rich soil,slightly mounded,and care is taken to not disturb the rootball,ground planting it now would not put it in any disadvantage. The roots and corm would be better protected from cold in this manner,and its soil would drain from all sides to the surrounding soil instead from the few holes of the pot. In a healthy soil,worms and other organisms quickly tunnel through the disturbed soil and make the drainage even better!

I totally agree with Mitchel that a south facing wall is the best for overwintering potted!

It's right by a south facing wall right now. I moved it back a little into the side of the house because of the high winds. The growing season has pretty much stopped where I live, even though we've been around 80 F highs for the past couple days. The nights are just too cold for much growth, in the mid to high 40s. And yes, I AM very happy to have it.

trebor · 11-30-2011, 12:59 PM

Wooooa! Dude! That thing is ginourmous, great buy...

caliboy1994 · 11-30-2011, 02:15 PM

I know. It'll probably have plenty of pups by summer that I'll be willing to give away.

hydroid · 11-30-2011, 05:30 PM

Very nice plant. It is the# 1 choice of the locals where I work here in the South Pacific. They call it "300" due to the large bunches when it fruits, also has a long shelf life. I have 3 of them here at work but not as pretty as yours.

Thanks! I do admit that it's a very beautiful plant. I just hope the winds won't ruin it once it gets tall.

That's because I take the pictures from my iPod, and it doesn't automatically correct their alignment when I take them as portraits like a normal camera. Hmm...there must be an app for that!

Or just turn the ipad the other way...

caliboy1994 · 12-02-2011, 03:11 PM

Then it would be a landscape instead of a portrait and it wouldn't get the entire photo.

momoese · 12-02-2011, 03:26 PM

Ah ok. There are tons of photo apps so that shouldn't be a problem.

Get the FREE program, Irfanview.

Click on Images. Then clik Rotate Right and, Presto, your picture is upright.
