Re: Seeds From Blue Java Ice Cream Bananas
Those are water suckers which are superior to sword suckers for many of the variegated banana.
Sword suckers tend to rot, especially the A'ea'e - Manini and for most growers success is based on growing it faster than it rots. Water suckers tend to rot less and that's why I prefer sharing water suckers. The major downside to a water sucker is the grower doesn't get a long time to figure out which substrate works best, basically if it isn't done correctly 'Game Over' quickly approaches. A sword sucker allows an attentive grower many chances to change substrates which a professional doesn't need. All the professionals I work with prefer the water suckers.

Re: Seeds From Blue Java Ice Cream Bananas
What’s your preferred growing medium for your variegated bananas?

Figuring out a good substrate starts with determining what the plant does best in. Because a banana plant has two distinct underground parts, the rhizome and the roots, should they be treated the same and if so which one should get preferential treatment. If not then what's an efficient way of giving both what they individually prefer. Another way of looking at the balance of aeration and moisture in a substrate is which is easier to add or harder to remove as a plant becomes more established. Adding moisture is simple and lowering aeration is also very simple. In the past I've tried explaining what I do but the problem with that is many hobbyist will substitute things without understanding how things function. There are hobbyists that don't understand the difference between BBQ charcoal and horticultural charcoal or pool filter sand and horticultural sand. When I saw members mixing pool filter sand with perlite it was clear I was wasting my time.

This is usually a good time to check because if they aren't doing great it gives the grower the opportunity to change substrates before conditions get worse.

Re: Seeds From Blue Java Ice Cream Bananas
Any interest in a variegated offshoot instead of the seeds?
