Re: Help no suckers are growing!

Thank you. Are you suggesting I torture the plants a bit? I am afraid the plants are getting older and that they will be fruiting before they produce suckers. Then it will be too late. Perhaps I...

Question Help no suckers are growing!

Hello! I've been growing indoor bananas for about 7 years. I have had two harvests and I thought I was quite experienced already. However, the last year or so, I have not seen any suckers. I have...

Smile Re: How to get more bananas to grow?

I appreciate all the advice. I thought I had it in a pretty large pot: 20 inches.

I was lucky to get 2 plants a few years ago. Normally, they are not available up here in Manitoba (zone 2).

I do...

Re: How to get more bananas to grow?

Is it typical then for a dwarf cavendish to only produce a dozen or so bananas?

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

One is 12" and one is 15". I started watering twice a week (like I do with my healthy plants) and that seems to be what it needed. I had been too afraid to water due to the root rot I was trying to...

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

It has now been 9 days. I think the plants are drying up now, but I'm not sure. The leaves have dry parts, I have cut some off. Today I dug up the roots to take a look. They are shriveling up! ...

I can say one thing for sure: They don't look any worse. I am encouraged that the remaining leaves have not worsened over the last 24 hours.

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

I am misting the plants 3 x a day. How often should I spray with fertilizer (using 24-8-16)?

(Oh, I see now edwmax said once a week.)

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

I will give a cup of water, but how often? Once a day? They will drain well now.

I didn't rinse the root ball after dunking in bleach water. I hope that won't pose a problem.

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

Here is an update:

I washed with bleach and trimmed all black roots. I tickled all the old soil away from the root system. http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=62255&size=1...

I just read bad reviews about the moisture control soil! Looks like I'd better re-pot ASAP if I want to save them!

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

Thanks so much for pointing out the soil! I dug the bag out of the garbage to look at it. Sure enough, 33% more water is being absorbed by the soil! That means the plants get 33 % less water from...

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

So could I be underwatering if the soil is retaining the moisture in order to "control" it?

They were very healthy, not fully grown, perfect candidates for transplanting, I thought. This condition started right after the transplant. Perhaps I didn't use the right soil. I bought typical...
