Re: Mushrooms in banana plant pot

Re: Mushrooms in banana plant pot

Thanks, sirdoofus. Just to be clear, the plant is outside on a lanai enclosed by a pool cage.

Mushrooms in banana plant pot

I have a super dwarf Cavendish Novak banana plant in a large pot. It seems to be very healthy as is growing quickly, but I recently noticed mushrooms growing in the pot. Do I need to get rid of them?...

Plastic pot or clay pot for super dwarf cavendish?

Is a plastic pot OK, or would it keep the corm and roots too wet?

Re: Long, wide streaks on banana leaves

Thanks, Island Brah. That's reassuring. The streaks have been there for several days, but I'll keep an eye on them and see if they fill in.

Re: A banana fungus among us?

How can I disinfect the soil where the infected banana plant was? Or shouldn't I even try?

Re: A banana fungus among us?

I've decided to try again with Goldfinger (Musa AAAB group). I'll grow it in a pot for a while. Then I'll plant it on the other side of the house from where the diseased plant was.

I've read that...

Re: A banana fungus among us?

I made my own safe insecticide with Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap. Works well. I used it on oleander caterpillars and it kills them within minutes.
