Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
yes pinch a penny is more than twice the price. I have never bought home depots pool sand but I use their play sand for sand blasting which is very fine and about half again cheaper. definitely would not recommend the play sand for bananas.

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Looking good Hector! The Praying Hands bunch is really cool. I'm gonna to add that one to my collection. I've heard a lot of good things about its vanilla taste.
Any of the recent cold weather make it down to your part of Florida? I've had some brushes with the low 30's and growth is at a standstill. An emerginng flower has been frozen in time for about three weeks. Looks like someone hit the pause button on a video! |

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Hector do you treat the end of the rachis after you cut off the bell? I noticed that the end of the rachis looks pretty clean at the cut but mine (untreated) seem to develop a bit of mold/mildew on the end although it doesn't appear to have effected the bunch.
Thanks! |
