Re: Reliable source for Ae Ae found - finally!
I will. As soon as I get the corm and it grows a good leaf. Then I can verify if it is a true Ae Ae.
Nothing ventured nothing gained!!! If I get another "Florida" I'll have a fit. Last edited by bananimal : 01-25-2019 at 07:40 PM. Reason: emphasize "Florida" |

The previous Ae Ae you had did it turn out to be a Florida, is it the same one in your Avatar. |

Re: Reliable source for Ae Ae found - finally!
Ok --- the first source --- turned out they offer the Florida variety. Which I consider not a true Ae Ae. The varigation lines do not radiate at 90 degrees from the leaf stem. I grew this one already and the fruit aren't as good as the true Ae Ae. So the search continues!!!

Re: Reliable source for Ae Ae found - finally!
Found another source. Money sent. Waiting patiently...….
About the Florida variety ---it's pretty, fruit tastes nice but I consider it not a true Ae Ae. The last time I got one it came from PR Giants. These days he is so busy making money I can't get him to respond. Maybe this post might work. lol |

Re: Reliable source for Ae Ae found - finally!
AeAe arrived today. It's a good sized pup with leaves trimmed. Stays in the shade right now to acclimatize. Will be planted out of direct sunlight and fed hi-potassium fert 6-3-16. Pics to come in the future.
That is if I can find out how. Haven't posted pics in years cause I simply forgot how?! Workin on it workin on it!!! Last edited by bananimal : 04-28-2019 at 06:37 PM. |

Re: Reliable source for Ae Ae found - finally!
Hi everyone I'm in the uk and I've just purchased a musa Aeae. It's growing very slow so I'm thinking it could be to cold. Anyone know what the best soil and air temperature I should be trying for please?
