Bananas Brindando Re: Orinoco Flow...

Cheryl(and clan) if it were me next time they're due to be repotted I'd go up a lot more than one pot size. Probably to at least a 15 gallon. They're looking great.

Cool Re: Orinoco Flow...

Today is WEEK 10!!!



I will be going up to a much larger pot size for week 15 - (October)

I have been weighing the options between terracotta & plastic for my bananas...Hmm...
They have the huge TC ones at the PX for a good price, just heavy as all get out.

I have moved the DO's into the backyard by the pool, hubby wouldn't mow the front yard if I didn't!
The plants all look good though! ~Cheryl

Smile Re: Orinoco Flow...

Morning All!!!

Just a picture update!! ~Cheryl

PS - the lower leaves that are turning yellow, have split at the bottom of the P-Stem.
The excessive rains caused a quick growth boost in the plants & I just haven't removed the leaves yet.
