Re: First macro propagation attempt

They totally pick up in the 50% shade hardening tent after a few weeks of care. After some testing we now only use 4 x 8 inch bags. I would say we have 99% success right...

Re: First macro propagation attempt

Once the boxes are in a producing cycle, that is after the first month or so. We give them folear feeding spray of NPK 20-20-20 every fifteen days including a dose of MgSO4 and a cocktail of trace...

Re: First macro propagation attempt

We did not, we look for rapid results, big plantlets quickly and we are not short of corms.

Re: First macro propagation attempt

The original corms are still producing. I have not added any new corms to these two boxes. Some of the corms are now just bits as the apical meristem kept producing and I had enough and retrieved the...

Re: First macro propagation attempt

Is the original corn used up at this point and requires replacement with a fresh one or does it just keep producing?

Thanks! Really cool!

Thanks Mudturkle!

How far along did the patupi replanted in 9b in Spring 2017 get by the end of the season? I understand that it is a challenging banana in these zones but was hoping to get it to...

Akula, I'd be more than happy to do that, but it probably wouldn't be a fair representation yet. I got mine from PRGiants June 2016. I grew it a little while in a pot. Then when I thought it was...

Re: First macro propagation attempt

Mine have gotten very hot in the past and it didn’t bother them. I wouldn’t recommend an exhaust or exaust fan. It could lower humidity which needs to be as high as possible.

All great ideas though!

Thanks for the suggestions :bananas_b

Here are the first plantlets, separated five and ten days ago. The lots are sorted per bag size, not separation date. They don't look as well right now as they have. Anything wrong? Or just the...

Awesome work Louis! I also recommend the dipping in hot water!

I take the small plantlets and re-initiate the larger/thicker ones. Even if the small ones only have 1-2 roots they will keep rooting...

Re: how to encourage pupping

Fertilizer application and stress to a corm (accidental damage by garden tools, overcrowding) will encourage pupping. In the past I have also used Azomite, but nowadays I have way too many pups, so I...
