Thank you my bro!....Hopefully we can keep Musa Vunamami alive and growing good and nicely for us!....Definitely Musa Vunamami is in a different league than most Nana Varieties!..... As you mentioned, Nick is a Nana expert, with a lot of TCing plants experience!....Awesome guy!.... Your favorite, "Frenchie" (French Red Plantain), suddenly, took off growing!....Thanks to all that banana nectar (rain) from the last couple of months!.......French Red it's approx. 9 ft. tall and keeps growing nicely!.....French Red and another monster plantain, the FHIA-21, should be flowering, blooming soon!.......Monster plantain bunches are coming!.... :2723::bananarow::2723: |
Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
What's the difference between pool silica sand and the white sugar sand thats all over S. Florida's coasts? My sister has a house in W. Palm Beach and her backyard seems like its primarily composed of what people from around here would call "beach sand".
Also I was instructed that banana plants favor soil that is high in organic matter and amended my soil accordingly. Obviously you are a successful grower and your technique works but how to reconcile? Thanks! |

Donald, From post #193 of the thread......."That is pool filter silica coarse sand!......The soilless medium that I used for Nanas in pots or in the ground!....Has a bigger grit than normal/regular sand!....Keywords DRAINAGE and AERATION!"....... Very simple!.....I frequently keep amending/adding nutrients to the top soil of my Nana mats!.....Biochar (crushed wood charcoal), coffee grounds, egg shells, vegetable/fruits peelings, Nana leaves or pieces from prior harvested Nanas, etc..... I first tried pool filter silica coarse sand with the Beautiful, Royal and Majestic AEAE and it did worked!......Trust me, AEAE is one of the toughest Nana Varieties to grow and see it flowering, blooming!.......If it works for the AEAE, it should work for most Nana Varieties!......Right now, I'm using pool filter silica coarse sand with all my Nanas!.....http://www.bananas.org/f2/beautiful-...ing-47512.html :2723::bananarow::2723: |

Hector
Extraordinary growth you have there, are you going to put them in a larger pot or keep them like they are for the mean time. You can start to see the beautiful bronze/burgundy underside of the leaves of Musa Ula'ula Iholena.:nanadrink: |
