Re: Bananas in the Arabian desert

Glad you're coming home.
Think about your plantations you'll be growing by next year! That Qatar rock is just to tough to grow anything in. Good to have the pots and some good soil.
Good luck...

Re: Question about plant transfer

I would find a place in your home for the winter.
The plant will show growth once the new roots are established. And the cold nights won't help a bit.

Re: My First Nana

You are correct, commercial growers take the bananas when they are green. And you will have to do the same. If you take them now, you will be taking all peeling. The plants leaves needs the sun...

Re: My First Nana

Hopefully you're in a warm...

Re: Siam Ruby Problems

I get the mites on my Elephant Ears. For some reason, none on the nanners.
