Re: seperate the pups
 

so i prepared some killing juice, soap and water.
1l of water 250 ml soap.
sprayed on nanas and some vedgies.
Hope it works with bio soap.

Re: seperate the pups
 

It should, but I REPEAT, don't pour the soap on the roots. Many soaps will cause deformed growth, so only leaves and pstems, no roots!

Re: seperate the pups
 

Keep us informed

Re: seperate the pups
 

Nice.

Repeat the dilute soap spraying once or twice a day for 5 days, that should be enough. Then once again another 3 or 4 days with a 3 days pause, for new generation of the larva to come ...
Excellent news about that pup. Ante will be happy. :)

Re: seperate the pups

Re: seperate the pups
 

3 is what I have been keeping. I just removed two water suckers and left 3 swords on one of mine. I'll repot or try to give away any swords I take off but usually toss the water suckers in the trash.

Re: seperate the pups
 

Dont toss them. They will grow slowe but shore. I wish Im closer to you to get these :).

Re: seperate the pups
 

Ante, once your DC or SDC starts producing 20 to 30 pups a month, you will reconsider it very quickly. :D
If someone doesn't want the pups, I usually plant them out in the field with corn, quite close to where I live. It's about 40 small SDC there. If no-one is interested till fall, I think that those bananas are fried. But maybe some will surivive and create a new strain of super cold hardy super dwarf bananas. :D
Just kiddin.
But it's pretty much their faith.

Re: seperate the pups
 

Hey Yakuza
any updates about Monkey fingers? New pups?
:woohoonaner:

Re: seperate the pups
 

YAKUZA, haven't heard from you for a while. Everything OK? How's the weather in N.? Hot and dry as here and Makarska? 33+°C :D Woohoa. Bananas don't like it though.

Re: seperate the pups
 

I planted two water suckers. One died after a while. The other has been in the ground for like 10 months and is about 20% bigger. I have a sword pup I may replace that with. I'm letting it get big before I even seperate, the base circumference is probably 5x the size of the one in the ground already.

Re: seperate the pups
 

In that case replace it and toss water sucker to me:ha::ha::ha:
BTW what banana are we talking about (Raja puri, right)?

Re: seperate the pups
 

Everithing not fine .
Rain, rain and rain but temp are between 22° end 27°c.
spidermite in greenhouse, soap solution is not good for greenhouse. leaves are turning brown and falling off.Nanas 2.
moved the plants outside end hope it becomes better.
the maurelli is a beauty. little but wooow.
the helenshybride sucker is about 30- 40 cm. ( time 2 remove?)
Monkey fingers sucker is growing but soooo sloooow. think 4cm and no leave.

Re: seperate the pups
 

That arent good new at all :(.
Hope that your wether will be better real soon.
Go and get some real insecticide for that spidermates. Growth season is still long and all your naners can recover fast and prepare for winter.

Re: seperate the pups
 

Yeah the raja puri, the only big corm I have right now.

Re: seperate the pups
 

Raja Puri's just making a large corm Ante here, wait up and there will be pups by the end of the shipping season... ;) :D

Re: seperate the pups
 

I took it out with ~ 10 months of growing the corm was about the size of a grape

The pup I just put in is closer to an apple.

Re: seperate the pups
 

I hope it will grow fast!
Wish U good weather.
