Pics of My Dwarf Cavendish
First off, Great website! I'm a new banana plant owner in Charlotte,N.C. (Zone 7) and have learned so much from these forums over that past five months! I just wanted to share and receive feedback on photos of my dwarf Cavendish I planted in a 3.5 gallon pot the first week of April 2012. Photos are of the day it was planted and also current photos taken today. Currently I feed it twice a month with 15-5-30 Banana fuel (1 tbsp every other week), also I use Neptune's Harvest fish & seaweed blend, both foliar and soil watering application (2 fluid oz. every other week). Finally, I also mixed in a few cups of Dr. Earth 708P fruit tree fertilizer with fast draining cactus soil when I first planted back in April and once again the first week of July. From the looks of rapid growth of the plant, I believe to be doing everything right so far. I already have 3 pups that have sprouted and are doing well. I wanted to ask for advice on when I should repot..... Currently it's in a 3.5 gallon pot, will it need to be changed before next spring or am I ok? Also, do I let the pups stay with the mama plant or should I remove them and plant them seperate? Thank you in advance for you assistance!

Re: Pics of My Dwarf Cavendish
Looking good so far! To me, it looks like you won't have to change pots before spring.

Re: Pics of My Dwarf Cavendish
Great looking plant!!!
Soil looks good also. I think you have about 70 to 90 days left in your growing season...with the great food your feeding it pot it up to a 5 gal or larger pot....Go for it ..keep the pups intact and next spring....get ready ...you'll have a litter in no time. Happy gardening Mike |

Re: Pics of My Dwarf Cavendish
Beautiful plants! I grow DC the foothills of NC, near Charlotte. It's been 1 year 8 months. I'm hoping for a flower next spring/summer.
