pup problem
I planted a 8 inch banana pup that i cut from the mother plant 3 weeks ago. It does not seem to be growing an the mother plant seems to be not doing so well. The mother plant is about a foot. I fertilize it with miracle grow plant food once a week, mixed in with water. I water it once every day. Why is it not growing, and can I help it?
I am in Zone 7.

Re: pup problem
I thought banana pups need to be at least 2 feet tall before cutting and planting them?

Re: pup problem
The taller the better, in my experiences... But I have separated 4 and 6 inch pups before...

Beat way to insure this is to wait till it grows at least 3 true leaves after the last sword leaf. Meaning round - ish. No matter what the height is. Very annoying to have to toss pups that fail to grow out. |
