Re: Container TC Pups, slow growth/ Care Tips

I have been slowly increasing my musa collection the past few years, and overall, I would say, there is no comparison to TC plants, and corms I have purchased. The vigor, strength, and viability in...

Re: Container TC Pups, slow growth/ Care Tips

Foxhound, you're thinking about it incorrectly. The newer leaves are not sending the energy they harvest to the older leaves, but vice versa, the older leaves are sending what they harvest from...

Re: Experimenting with creating filtered coarse sand for corms

So in a way, its basically a semi-aeroponic system.

That's crazy cool. I've seen your posts on this before, but how did you come up with this method?

Re: Growing Bananas at 8000 feet/searching for A'ea'e

Thank you for these diagrams.

One note, in this thread, when I refer to "A'ea'e, and "Florida" - this is what they were sold to me as. I have not fruited either mother plant so will never be sure...

Re: Is there any way to encourage the growth of pups on my Musa Tanee?

Thanks. I believe this is pupping relatively early since it has only been actively growing around 2 months, forming a tiny pup at the base probably about an inch long off the corm. I did fertilize it...
