Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Excuse me if this has already been explained. But what is the tape for? To keep the leaves from falling?

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Per the first study, Kandrian with 826 days harvest cycling time has a harvest index (HI) twice Namwa! That doesn't seem accurate but I'm not familiar with Kandrian bunch size. Are they 2-3x Namwa?
Good stuff and great photos! Last edited by Akula : 10-23-2018 at 05:24 PM. |

*****An Update Of Nanas In Pots!*****
All pictures from 10/27/2018..... Woohoooo!.......Finally!.....Red Kru is pushing out the first leaf, since I got her!......Seems Red Kru is one of those Nana Varieties that prefer to be in the drier side!....I wouldn't recommend Red Kru for the novice Nana grower!....A vey picky Nana Variety!....She is in excellent condition!.....Red Kru is a stunning Nana Variety!.......Very beautiful colors!....     TARS African Rhino Horn Plantain (verified TARS green version ARH Plantain) keeps growing nicely!.....This is the last one, after I lost the main plant during last year storm!....   Monkey Fingers it's opening a new, bigger leaf!.....Monkey Fingers new leaves have a very small red/burgundy hue underneath, once the leaves opens, it disappears!....Very nice!....   FHIA-18 Bonanza keeps growing nicely, opening bigger leaves!......   *****An Update is coming soon!*****
