Yo, it's been ages since I've been here, and also ages since I've had my banana plant fruit. It's a long story but I somehow found myself on this forum again (was totally not looking for bananas) and...

:( Musa Velutina seems to be dying...or something.

The leaves have been limp and weak for awhile, but now there's also brown/black spots (with a little yellowish edge, I'm not sure if that helps). Even the leaf that's coming out now is limp and with...

Re: Black "burnt" edges/tips and limping leaves Musa Velutina

Just today I've gotten another problem. A few days ago I repotted and moved my banana plant from a eastern to a western window. It's gone from some morning sun to very strong midday/evening sun...

Re: Preventing soil from compacting without causing problems.

Does anyone have any experience with vermiculite for plants that prefer moist soil? Would this have the same effect on aeration as perlite?

And just how much perlite should be used? I used 1/3 (1/3...

Preventing soil from compacting without causing problems.

This actually isn't a banana specific question (my banana won't be big enough for this to cause a problem for a long time) but I might be running into this problems with some other plants.

Re: Black "burnt" edges/tips and limping leaves Musa Velutina

I'll keep an eye out for these, but so far the leaves look crisp and healthy and there do not appear to be any bugs on them. I think it's the misting.

I was a little excessive with it because we...

Black "burnt" edges/tips and limping leaves Musa Velutina

The first few days I got it it was sunny, I just put some trays with water near it and it was seriously making a leaf per day. Since then I got some horrible weather here (Summer in the Netherlands:...

Re: In doubt wheter to buy this plant (Another Musa Tropicana topic)

So SDC is the edible one...right?!

That dutch site doesn't have SDC, and they charge ridiculous shipping rates. The plants are all super tiny and I'm not that awesome at growing banana's yet (even...

Re: In doubt wheter to buy this plant (Another Musa Tropicana topic)

Thank you so much for that site. Unfortunately no SDC in the list, but if there's anyone that can get one it has to be him. I'll go do some research, maybe one of the plants he normally sells is...

I'm in the Netherlands. So yes, Europe.

So where would I get banana plants, then? Been looking everywhere for a SDC.

Perlite or vermiculite, organic compost or liquid fertilizer

When I was looking for some ornamental plants for indoors, I found out that this site not only had some plants I wanted for sale, but that they also sold Musa Velutina quite cheap.

Re: Looking for cultivar below 6 foot that needs less light and warmth.

Thanks for all the replies.

So Dwarf Orinoco is out of the question because of the height with an 8 foot ceiling? Although the wiki says 5-8 foot, someone commented that it usually stays 5 foot,...

Re: Looking for cultivar below 6 foot that needs less light and warmth.

What do you mean by taking it out in spring? The first problem is that right now it's still freaking cold. It tends to differ each year (sometimes it's very hot, sometimes we still have snow, always...
