Re: How late is too late to divide and repot?

I'm pretty much a novice with bananas, but if your banana(s) are going to go dormant at all, I'd hold off dividing until the weather warms up next spring. I feel like the risk of infection would be...

ID Truly Tiny pups vs Double Mahoi pups?

Well, now I've gone and done it. I confused the labels on these (actually they faded out), so now I'm guessing which is Truly Tiny and which is Double Mahoi. I went back and looked at the many...

Which ones are you referring to as collector plants?

Re: Anyone grow Amorphophallus?

Here's a pic of Mito-no-hana from early August, still showing pretty good stripes. Sorry for the crappy picture quality. It also produced a bumper crop of seed, presumably crossed with h.seyboldiana...

Re: Cool winter storage of banana plants?

Cincinnana--you spray edible bananas with a systemic, or are these ornamentals you're talking about?
Frost was forecast for this morning, so I chopped the leaves off of my potted bananas yesterday,...

Muss troglodytarum/m.fe'i source, info?

I've been reading about m.troglodytarum recently, but not finding enough info to tell if this is worth growing in a container, how large it gets, what the seeds are like, etc. Has anyone grown this,...

Re: Cool winter storage of banana plants?

Thanks, NPH. Since my plants are all in pots, can I let them dry out completely, and remain undisturbed in the pots, standing in my basement?
Some of the pups I'll continue growing, but might...

Separating pups of Truly Tiny and Double Mahoi

With fall approaching, I decided to remove the pups from 'Truly Tiny' and 'Double Mahoi', which I've had since late February (pictured). My first attempt to remove one from TT was pretty easy, so...

Re: Tired of Throwing Rhino Horns Away

I'm new to banana culture, and had to look up your plant. What are the 'rhino horns' that you're being flooded with? Are these actually pups? How are they, relative to 'regular' banana pups?
Thanks!

Re: Double Mahoi inflo bud started--usual newbie Q's!

Can you get your friend to post those pictures here? Any description by your friend would be great! What happens if a choke is left untreated, as in the wild? 'Pstem salad'?
