Re: trying to figure out the right amount of wood chips for musa basjoo over winter

Our climates are very different but when I put a rhizome into dry storage it's exactly the same as if I was potting it except I don't add water and I store it in a cool dark area. Because I use clean...

Re: Variegated Mutation in Madeira?

Your photo doesn't show enough detail but it would be concerning if the leaf blade edges are abnormal. Your decision to segregate it from the mat is probably a prudent move.

Re: My New Favorite Banana Plant

Horses don't normally eat where they shlt so it's fairly easy to keep them away from small plants.

I'm very happy with how the plant is progressing and hopefully there won't be any negative...

Re: trying to figure out the right amount of wood chips for musa basjoo over winter

Seeing that the roots can't go dormant and will rot, is there any advantage of leaving it in the ground opposed to digging it up and placing it in dry storage?

It seems like it would re-root earlier...

10 leaves
3.75" pstem

Things started looking bad with the last two leaves. Leaf #9 was completely white and leaf 10 was also looking completely white until the right leaf blade popped out of the...

Re: My New Favorite Banana Plant

Another stacked leaf. Exactly what would be expected if this is to be a true Super Dwarf Pisang Awak. A green version of this plant could easily become the most desirable banana for indoor growers...

Re: has anyone seen a leaf like this on you're plumeria?

The leaf in the photo was from an A'ea'e and when I walked by it the first time I instinctively knew something was different but needed a closer inspection to figure it out.

How a normal banana leaf...

Re: has anyone seen a leaf like this on you're plumeria?

I wish I knew enough about plumeria leaves to appreciate the rarity of your photo but it did remind me of this banana leaf photo that I posted. It's probably a one in a quintillion or more and I...

Re: Propagating a Variegated Florida - photos only

The top two photos are almost identical with the main difference being that the top photo is actively growing.

Re: Propagating a Variegated Florida - photos only

Yeah, because this is counterintuitive just about everyone is going to choose the worst possible planting material first.

The worst choice is starting with a potted plant because everything relies...

Re: What's blooming in your garden? (bananas)

Thanks. Yeah it's gonna be a heavy bunch, 14 full hands and over 20' pseudostem. It sometimes works out really well for photos that my mountain is terraced.

Re: Why isn't my Dwarf Brazilian dwarf anymore?

Nice bunch :08:

It's typical with many cultivars that the ratoon crop is taller and thicker than the mother plant, aka plant crop. 12' is still very short for a Dwarf Brazilian but if you're looking...

Re: Propagating a Variegated Florida - photos only

Why I don't like planting large variegated rhizomes and prefer to reduce it's size.

New roots normally form near the growing point which is located in the upper part of the rhizome. These actively...

Re: Strange Pup Formation

I don't know much about this variety besides it produces viable variegated banana seeds and it has fertile pollen.

I'll post updates.
