Hi.
With themperatures raising here in Rome, my 'nanas are boosting with activity... growing bigger, pull out new leafs and... new pups!!

Here's my Orinoco(or "comune di Sicilia" I still don't know) with a pup just raised from the ground:







Following, the Dwarf Cavendish's pup:





And finally my newly arrived super Dwarf from Germany:

The super dwarf is a bit twisted, maybe it was a pup itself....

Another pup from "comune di sicilia " emerged from ground yesterday..... both seems swords.

The almost unbearable temperatures of the last few days are greatly appreciated by the 'nanas.... the increased the foliage growth from 1 leave every week to 1 every 4-5 days.... and pups are getting out off the ground almost from every 'nana I have....

Yesterday , 35 degrees celsius and 65% of hydration in the air at 14.00 and 23 celsius with 92% of hydration in the night.....
This morning at 7.00am there was a huge cloud of hydration all over Rome and the surroundings that obsucred the sun for over an hour....

Yesterday I separated another pup from the "comune di sicilia" that was 60 cm tall but as much as the other one I sent to Dalmatiansoap, I noticed that those swords have almost non existent roots.... This one has only a tiny one while the other has three.... is it normal ?

I put it in a pot just like the other one that in one week pulled out some more roots, but I supposed that swords should have a big root system on its own...

Those that I could see were definitely not sworp pups and were still quite small to have some extensive root systems.

A little update about my new born pups and the other 'nanas .....

Basjoo:



Dwarf Cavendish:



An explosion of pups from the musella lasiocarpa..... some seems to sprout directly from inside the mother... I don't know how to separate them without harming the mother...






Super Dwarf Cavendish:


And finally pups from my "comune di Sicilia" ... strangely theese two in the pics seem not to grow anymore from at least two months.... the other ones I sent abroad grow very quickly, instead theese one stopped in that form from a lot of time..... is it normal ?





I've a question about my thousand fingers.......... EVERY cigar leaf emerging bend one way or another.... why ?





Blue Java in its final location (Thanks to Linda_GER) :


Gran Nain:

Nice to see your `nanas! I hope the M. mannii is still alive.

Hi Linda, yes it is, but I took it inside , because it has not recovered so fast as the blue java and I feared that autumn's winds and rain could affect its health too..... so now the Mannii is enjoying a good place in front of a window exposed to the sun in a warm room.... I hope it wil send up a cigar leaf soon
