Re: Variegated Florida arrived...And not good news :(

Re: Cut my nanners back too soon!

You didn't damage the plants by cutting them back too soon. the growth point is in the corm, you could essentially cut the whole pstem to the ground and it'll still pop right back up in the spring....

Re: Dwarf namwah sucker rotting

If it is still pushing leaves then it should be ok. Keep the corm dry. In my experience, when the rot is visible, it may be too late to do anything about it. How are the roots? are they healthy?...

Re: Chima Meta Chimera

Wherever it's from, you got lucky and got one coll looking banana. :)

Now, does it pup prolifically? Is the variegation stable? Is it easier to grow than the AeAe? :p

Re: What is this? Giant root?

It's a rhizome... basically a big subterranean stem that eventually sprouts a new plant.

These are Musa 'Mekong Giant' rhizomes but they look very similar to what you have.

Re: Spring Trimming.. What to look for..

So if the cigar is moving the stem is safe?
I got a couple of bajoo stems with corm/ lower stem damage that have pushed out.

Re: Is it a Thai Black?

Not Thai Black...
