Re: What have I done?
Taylor, thanks.
I had no clue what was going on. I searched post for split stem and found nothing, so I assumed I had either over watered or something else. I've never seen a plant split from the...

What have I done?
Today I checked out my potted DC and see that it's split at the bottom of the psuedostem. The outer layer is splitting back and I can see a reddish rub barb looking color.
I've been watering it...

Re: Why not...
After reading here and there though, I see sand added to clay soil is never good. So would a boat load of compost be enough for planting Basjoo?

Re: Why not...
So, I see that the Cactus Mix I had states not for ground use outside. So, when using sand which is best for clay soils? Paver based sand? Playground Sand? Poultry Grit(granite).

Leaves growing to quick?
So I've had my Banana plants for maybe a week, I've re-potted into pots, except for the Basjoo that will be planted in the ground.
I've noticed all the new cigar leafs growing have really curly...

Re: Why not...
I planted it about 5 years ago I guess. It was around 6 ft tall at the time. It hasn't really grown as much as was expected. It might be around 10-12 ft now. Although the trunk of the tree has...

Re: Why not...
So when planting the Basjoo, what would you suggest? As far as soil additives go? What type of sand and how much? Are we talking like 1/3 or 1/2 mixed with native soil? Amending with compost and...

Re: Why not...

Two years ago, if memory serves...

I'll have to plant my Basjoo out in the backyard....

Until I looked at your location I thought you could be a neighbor down the road after you said you were in Indiana also.
A neighbor down the road has a ton of tropical plants he...

Re: Why not...
Yep, I knew before buying the Birds that they can become really large. But read that they were easier to grow than the smaller varieties.
I wouldn't be against getting my Dwarf Cavendish to fruit,...

Why not...
