Re: Strange Pup Formation

This was just a mat of all green plants that were scheduled for removal and were not cared for. Horse manure as a top mulch is only good if kept wet and these plants were never watered.

Re: Variegated Florida

With an adequate temperature and proper soil aeration and moisture it should acclimate very quickly.

Feral Golden Tiger Rescue?

Found this variegated banana seedling growing in some serious overgrowth today so I used the zoom lens to to determine if the variegation was nice enough to put the effort into rescuing it.

Re: Golden Tiger Cub

I checked the nub today and after 9 days it's got some nice root growth but no rhizome growth.
