Re: Musa Aeae White Variegated

I see. I am no longer interested in AEAE's because I read they cannot dip below 60F. If I were to slip up once in my climate they would be harmed.. I can't take that risk haha

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2019!

Hector, I always love watching the progress of your banana plants. If it weren't for the weight, I'd 100% use your silica and pearlite combo for soil medium.

Let's get an update again soon please!...

Re: Giant Yunnan Banana (Musa Itinerans Gigantea)

I think one is germinating!!! It's in the middle of the pic.. white part emerging! It looks like the tip of it is brown but that's just a piece of vermiculite. I might transfer it to a pearlite jar...

Re: Nana super slow after roots dried out over winter

Well I dug it up.. tons of rotten roots and part of the corm bottom rotted. I'm assuming it was still recovering, so I removed the dead roots. Soil is fine.. there were a few mealworms in it though.....
