Re: Winter With Nanners!

Alright, thanks guys! :)

Will they stop growing during winter with days in the 60s and nights in the 30-40 range? And if the blood banana does get too frosty, will it come back from the roots? Would...

Banana ID? Blood Banana?

I bought three banana trees from OSH that I think are Blood Bananas or "Musa acuminata ssp. zebrina" according to Wikipedia.

I have a video of them on YouTube... Start it at 3:44 seconds (it should...

Winter With Nanners!

I bought two banana plants (or are they trees?) about a month ago when planting around my greenhouse. I think it is an ornamental one. It is called Musa 'Gold Finger'... I have three more that came...

Re: Mixup... Ooops!

Okay, well two (one of each I grouped together) developed new leaves with faint brown markings. It looks like hard water marks, but it's brown and its the coloring on the leaves. I guess those are...

Re: Gran Nain/Dwarf Cavendish Pup?

I was hoping to grow them in smaller containers, maybe 5 gallons at the most, so I can control their size. I need to be able to store them in a 6 x 8 greenhouse in the winter.

Gran Nain/Dwarf Cavendish Pup?

I noticed one of my Gran Nain/Dwarf Cavendish (I mixed two of each kind up when repotting, so I don't know which is which) is producing a pup. Should I separate it? When should I do this? The main...

Is All Sugarcane Sorghum?

I bought three kinds of sugar cane on eBay. Not sure if they're sorghum. I read that the leaves are toxic to dogs, so I won't be able to plant them around the greenhouse if they are sorghum. Anyone...

Re: Gran Nain & Dwarf Cavendish Temperatures?

I mean... I have a heated greenhouse that will stay up to 60F on the coldest nights that rarely ever occur... I think they'll be fine if I lay them down in there.

Growing Coconut from Store-Bought Coconut

I bought a round coconut grown in Mexico at my local market. Tons of coconut milk sloshing around inside and I believe the husk is still on because it's not smooth -- it's very rough and has a bit of...

Re: Is it a bad idea to water bananas with hose water?

Pool water was filled with the same thing as your tap or hose water, presumably. I've never owned a house with a pool, but I believe people put more chlorine than there already is into the water to...

Same stuff, at least it should be. Comes from the same place, doesn't it?

Re: Mixup... Ooops!

If you look really closely at the one on the left, it has some darker splotches toward the bottom of the stem... Is that what you mean?

Re: Store-Bought Banana Seed Germination

Re: Gran Nain & Dwarf Cavendish Temperatures?

Sadly, the greenhouse is only 6x8x6 and I have shelves on all three sides, so there's no room for a barrel of any size. Otherwise, I would probably go with what you suggested.

I'm testing my heater...

Re: Water suckers

With slow growing tropicals I keep, whenever basal shoots pop up, it never saps the mother's growth. In my opinion, it actually may help. The leaves of the suckers conduct photosynthesis too, it's...

Re: My propagation area

Wow! Beautiful collection!

Just looked up your climate zone, 10a, correct? I'm in 9b, so almost at your zone. I wish I could grow my bananas like that.

Re: Transplanting Pineapples

All but the two pineapples has perfect growing points that are green and growing. I just don't want to toss the two because they're the ones with roots.
