Re: AeAe aka Manini for sale - 3 pups

Florida's p-stem and petiole are variegated when the p-stem is small, also the pink on the petioles is noticeable, but after the p-stem has grown above a meter, not sure if it is still noticeable.

Re: Opinions on the price of variegated bananas

Hi Valor

Unlike Ae Ae , Florida can be tissue cultured, if Covid restrictions around the world, start to ease, prices of Musa Florida, will drop significantly.

Re: Dwarf orinocco flowering in Britain

Cut the flower bell after the female flowers, so all strength goes into the fruit, also keep adding potash.
