Re: Minimum Light Requirement?
dpren,
Thanks. I worry about that much light since my basement stays so warm. With the light on right now, it's 64. I feel like they'd shut down more if it was 55 like your basement. I've got...

Minimum Light Requirement?
Hey all,
It's just about time for me to move my nanners into the basement. Hoping to keep them under lights this winter, but really don't want to pay too much for energy. I have oodles of plants -...

Re: A couple of unknowns
Yeah, I'm aware of big box labeling. I've purchased from Sandy at Northern Tropics, Wellspring, e-bay for my first few (before I started reading the org), a couple local nurseries, and traded a few....

Re: A couple of unknowns
I swore I remember it being labeled a Gran nain, but knew that wasn't it. The gran nain cross might be it. It's only in dappled sunshine, so that should explain the really dark colors. Regardless,...

Re: Thanks everyone
My Caerulea passiflora is in a container planted in the ground, climbing a trellis on the side of my shed. Not quite sure what I'm going to do come fall, but it wasn't very happy on my deck with a...

Re: Thanks everyone
No - thank you. I looked through your plant collection many times trying to figure out what to add to my collection. You got me hooked on Aurora peppers too - beautiful and tasty! I figured I...

Re: Thanks everyone
I went to Grandville growing up (another Dutchman here), and worked in Holland for a summer in college. Spent a lot of time on the beach out there - it's very beautiful place. I'm in Ann Arbor now....

A couple of unknowns
Any ideas on these fellas. Should be really easy for most folks on this site. I think the two are ice creams (blue javas), but I lost most of my nanners overwintering last year, and lost track of...

Thanks everyone

Re: Cat using Banana plant pots AS!
Please be careful with chili powder. Make sure whatever you put there it's not too hot (avoid cayenne). Cats get it on their paws, then when grooming can get it into their eyes (they'll scratch...

Re: Identification question - should be easy.
Thanks. I thought that at one time too, but I'm not so sure. I was thinking a variety of dieffenbachia as well, but I haven't found any that have the same leaf structure. Oh well, I love the plant...

I coach springboard diving when I'm not grading English papers or coddling my now-indoor banana plants. This is how divers are made:
