Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2019!
Hey Hector thanks for the update!
Are there two patupis in that photo? Looks like the main plant plus a plant/pup 3/4 the size of the main plant directly behind. I noticed it in an earlier photo you posted but thought it was a mirage. Thanks again! |

Donald, I told you that you got a good eye!.....LOL!..........Yes!.....As you mentioned, there is another Musa Patupi approx. 3/4 the size of the main Patupi plant!....She has been growing in a close rate to the main plant!....Most likely she will flowers/blooms very close after the main Patupi plant does!.....

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2019!
Just a thought- maybe you could contribute to the wiki and put pictures of the tu Ghia and other varieties. Since I thecked last the only picture of tu Ghia is a big, massive, tissue culture.

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2019!
*****An Update!*****
This is what happened to my Tissue Cultured FHIA-2 Mona Lisa plant!....She just flowered not even at 5 ft. tall!....Normal (Real) FHIA-2 Mona Lisa flowers, blooms approx. 8-9 ft. tall!.....She has been growing on the same environment conditions as my other Nanas!.....Also, she took almost 2 1/2 years to flower!..... Pictures from 10/22/2019..... Wooohooo!.....Finally!....I received a big FHIA-2 Mona Lisa corm from Dan (bananimal)!.....Thank you Dan for sending me a nice size Mona Lisa corm!.....Look at that color!....No doubts it's the real thing!....FHIA-2 Mona Lisa corm took a bath of water with bleach, then it was transplanted to a pot using pool filter coarse sand and lots of perlite mix as medium....Once she opens at least 4 new leaves, she will replace The TC FHIA-2 Mona Lisa for sure!..... Pictures from 10/25/2019..... Yeehaaaa!.......Seems she started to push out already!..... Picture from 10/26/2019..... Musa Monthan is flowering again!....So far she has opened a 13 hands bunch, as the previous one!......This is the third Monthan generation!....This is not a coincidence!.......What a productive Nana Variety!.....Amazing!...... Pictures from 10/26/2019..... *****An Update is coming soon!*****

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2019!
looking good hector, just got my monthan this year. cant wait.
also just went to home depot to get some sand blast sand. got it in a white bag that you cant see thru, its much more coarse than what you are using if your interested. the sand has a mixture of fines and coarses, the larges I have see is half the size of a bb.

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2019!
So are you going to leave the fake Mona Lisa in to ripen the fruit? Or are you going to obliterate it?!?

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2019!
Hector, I always love watching the progress of your banana plants. If it weren't for the weight, I'd 100% use your silica and pearlite combo for soil medium.
Let's get an update again soon please! Especially when it's winter here.. at least I can watch someone else's grow while mine are sleeping!
