Post if getting Musa 'Siam Ruby' from Agri-Starts - Page 17

imdocrob · 06-13-2007, 12:11 PM

I have left mine on the window ledge of my kitchen since I have had it. It has produced 2 new leaves but I dont seem to have the red that I see in soo many others. What should I do?

bigdog · 06-13-2007, 06:59 PM

imdocrob: Stick it outside in filtered sun, then gardually out into full sun.

Brian, I received my replacement today, and it looks great! Wonderful job on the packaging, and the Musa is showing some nice red coloration. Thanks a bunch.

Great to hear. This has been a learning experience for me as well. I think I am finally getting them to look the way I want.

AnnaJW · 06-13-2007, 11:21 PM

Brian,

Don't want to bug, but will my replacement be coming soon?

Thanks!
Anna

Hang in there, Miss Anna! My daughter, who is house sitting for me in Seattle (I'm still in Walnut Creek until the weekend), just called and said that the postman just delivered a box today from Mr. Brian. She hasn't opened it yet to confirm the color of the leaves, but I'm surely confident that they would be red. So yours should be coming anytime now!

Mr. Brian, thank you very much. You came through as usual!!!!

AnnaJW · 06-14-2007, 12:40 AM

Hey Chong!
I'll bet you can't wait to get home to see it! They look like such beautiful plants!

No kidding! Just got a follow up call from my daughter. She says the tips of the leaves are crimson red! Yippeeeeeh!

Pithy_Cherub · 06-14-2007, 01:41 AM

apparently our Siams are rather prolific 'breeders'. Pup #3 is peeking out from under mum's skirts already!

(You are gonna soooooo love it!)

That's so great!!!!!!!!!!

Brian, you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pithy_Cherub · 06-14-2007, 03:06 AM

Aroidgrower/Brian - Thought you might not have received this:

Your website's mystery fern ...

In case you haven't found the variety name yet, I believe you might have a Nephrolepis pendula - Long John Pendulant Fern. I had one (till it got caught in an unexpected frost while I was out of town) that had to be hung from a tree limb, looonnnng fronds!

I plan on making a visit to try to grab one of yours soon, before they are all gone!

And to keep from being totally OT - the Siam is growing wonderfully, TY again!

Living in FL has benefits - stuff grows all year long, BUT we're obviously at the END of the damn POST OFFICE ROUTES. I haven't gotten my replacement Red yet. ARGGGHHHH.

I'm sure it will be well worth the wait though.

Mark Hall · 06-14-2007, 10:34 AM

I think we may be a bit further than you terry.

tlturbo · 06-14-2007, 10:36 AM

Definitely Mark,
BUT it is weird. I can get a letter to CA in 3 days and sometimes it takes the same to Orlando from West Palm - 2 1/2 hours away.

D'Andra · 06-18-2007, 04:40 PM

Mine is only about 6 inches tall so far and no signs of any red yet. How much longer should I wait? Do the leaves change or does the new leaf have red already on it? Thanx.

NANAMAN · 06-18-2007, 04:45 PM

D' , The leaves will change, look back through the thread until you find the pics of my plant. It shows the progression from day one!

NANAMAN · 06-18-2007, 04:48 PM

It's page 13 of the thread.

Mustang · 06-18-2007, 05:26 PM

Mine

took 2.5 weeks to arrive. They leaves are red-tinged, but I'm trying to get the green back into them after their long journey. Very slowly does it right now.

D'Andra · 06-18-2007, 05:27 PM

Okay. Thanx! I guess I'll give it some more time before I start to worry about it. Due to weather I kept mine inside for awhile so it got kind of a late start. It does have some really odd coloring and patterns on it. Kinda cool.
Again I thank you.

JoeS475 · 06-19-2007, 05:40 PM

Here's mine - very red but staying small!

~Joe

NANAMAN · 06-19-2007, 08:46 PM

Latest Pics...., every time I walk by this plant I want to take another picture.
