Too late in Zone 7 to transplant basjoo?

Hey folks! Long time, no chat!

Re: Bananas wasting away please help

Re: Bananas wasting away please help

I can tell you now that they are not getting enough water. I soak my potted bananas thoroughly, at least once a week. The only time you need to let them dry completely is if they are going dormant,...

Re: ATTN: Sago Palm growers

Thought I would warn any cycad growers in the Mid-Atlantic to be on the lookout for stinkbugs attacking your sago. I had a beautiful new flush of 13 fronds a few weeks ago. About halfway to maturity,...

Re: Getting Used to Outdoor Sun: Advice Sought

And fear not. While the old leaves will remain burnt, the new ones will come out just fine. Just keep it well watered and fed.

Musa Basjoo & Colocasia for the new home

Hey kids! Sorry I've been out of touch lately, but things have been sort of unreal and scary of late. I would go into details, but it's a horror show. Why scare everyone else? :10:

I'd go bong. Lasts longer.

If you had a blizzard outside, why not just put it in the garage?
