Root issue with TC bananas
These guys are two years old this April. 3”-6” tall. Noticed a few weeks ago they were wilting and hadn’t watered lately. Thought maybe pots were too small so repotted and they had a lot of roots....

Re: Free Variegated Banana Seedlings
Gently pull them out? I never do see any TC bananas with pups around them so guess it’s not common until some decent corm grows for pups to survive maybe.

Re: Free Variegated Banana Seedlings
Another question since you know a lot about TC and seedlings. How do you know if they are getting too much or too little of water. TC plants seem to be hard with watering. They have yellow and brown...

Re: Only leaving a few leaves on mother plants?
Off topic question but it’s my post so it won’t hurt. PR- what are your thoughts and experiences with whether bananas throw fruit faster with only one or two pups on the mat with the mother. Or it...

Re: Free Variegated Banana Seedlings
I don’t know who that member is but with that much land you still have to protect the stems some years if you want a head start with fruit for the next year. So that would be a huge ordeal! Pretty...

Re: Free Variegated Banana Seedlings
Well I don’t have enough land then haha. But I would pot up a bunch that’s for sure. Your soil must be pretty fertile there alone I would assume? You don’t ever ship any seedlings out like that?...
