Re: New leaves on gran nain twisted.
I cant say its the same thing, but my Sikkimensis started out with smaller twisted leaves, thickened veins and overall reduced leaf area, then the leaves started becoming necrotic and severe. In your...

Re: Short Double Mahoi
i agree it looks very happy so obviously you are taking good care of it. So far in my opinion, double mahoi seems like one that doesn't get so big but will get very fat stems. Just what you're...

Re: Short Double Mahoi
Thats a nice looking plant. Weird that it seems far too short yet to flower yet its super fat and kinda seems to be stacking leaves. They usually flower around 5' the first time so you probably have...

Re: SDC stopped putting out new leafs.
You say the area is not soft but it looks a bit sunken in in the photo? Does it smell rotted at all? I don't want you to cut into the pseudostem if you don't have to but if it were me I might try and...

Re: Thinking ahead for winter.

Re: Inside or Outside?
