What did you plant today (bananas)? - Page 39

CozyFanatic · 11-01-2009, 10:15 AM

While I really don't know if I should have bought a banana plant before I learned a lot about them, I just bought this plant from eBay. It's a Baby Musa Basjoo and they say it's growing great and is almost 18 inches tall now.

I can't wait to get started on my banana growing career and I just want all the advice I can get from you experts!
Thanks!

Yesterday I finished planting out a new Bed. One of the new plantings is Musa
"MacKlayi." Check out the photo Gallery under cultivars.

I decided to go ahead and plant my monkey finger, rhino horn, cardaba and glui kai this past weekend. I transplanted my Saim ruby and seperated out the one that reverted to solid lime green, so I can add marginata to my list. Also transplanted cheeka and that lime green nam wah thing, whatever it is.

Two last-of-the-season, 3-ft Ensete Maurellis.

Stumbled on the 1st one, almost literally, shoved against nonbananas, on sale for $13.99.

I looked around for more, hopefully, and found 2 more--one was in pretty bad shape.

Dickered with the help for a discount--both were rung up $10 each.

Neat.

I've been looking all summer, all September, gave up all hope October; I came in today for soil and pots for cannas I got from sandy here, and VOILA!

Keeping them warm and dry under my homemade banana blanky. I added another old, old comforter overhead; they looking pretty comfy in there.

Just in time for our night temps here are below 42, early daytime 45.

Heya!

Well this might not be the right place for this question, but what the heckl! Here it comes.

I ordered a aeae for maybe 3 month ago. It was then about 50cm tall. I placed it in a container with rooting hormone and gave it heat! The soiltemp. is and was about 32 degrees Celsius. As time went by, the top started rotten, inch by inch. I cut the rotten bit off as it moved down towards the soil. Today it was rotten, so only about one inch was fresh above the soil. I thought it was the end of the road and dragged it up,

There was three large roots and some smaller,

. I guess each of the lager one was about 15 cm long.
So, to my question. What shall I do??? Will it root down to the corm?? Is time the best answer?? Wait or what?
Please help me with my aeae......I will take some pictures of it later and put up here for you all to see!!!!

I saw this at Home Depot the other day and did not buy it. I kept thinking about the poor plant and stopped today to see if it was still there and sure enough it was. I actually hid it behind some other plants. I guess I have a bad addiction.

But its a good thing

The only thing is I donot know what it is the one it says it is I thought did not pup this has pups it was 10.00 I like it tho

Hi Maque.

You are correct that this is not the right place for your question. You need help FAST, and I don't think that will happen in this forum. Please ask this in the container grown forum or the health forum. Someone will see it there and offer advice.

Good luck!

I think that the plant may be mislabeled. It looks to me like a regular banana rather than an Ensete. The stocky trunk suggests an SDC. Great buy, regardless. A plant like that size would easily go for $30 in the Seattle area.

I'm so excited to see some sprouts on the musa velutina seeds I planted about a month ago! I planted a couple flats with about 50 seeds each and they are starting to come up! They are in a sunny window on an electric blanket for extra heat. I had plastic lids on one flat because it had been very cloudy. Then last Saturday I was gone and it got sunny. I was sure the seeds had cooked, but those started sprouting first. Now the second flat is starting to sprout too.

I have tried several times with purchased seeds but had no luck. These seeds came from a velutina I've had growing here for 2 years. This was the first time I'd seen the bananas split and show their seeds.

I started another 135 seeds this week and gave some to friends (before the first batch started sprouting). I have about 500 more in the sprouter ready to plant. I gathered the last of the bananas this week (we still haven't had a bad frost). So I'm overrun with velutina seeds and loving it!

If anyone wants some seeds, send me an e-mail for my address to send me a stamped self-addressed envelope and I'll return some seeds until I run out. I hate for them to be wasted.

Today I planted a Nam Wah, a Raja Puri, and an Excalibur.
