Re: Help no suckers are growing!

Thank you. Are you suggesting I torture the plants a bit? I am afraid the plants are getting older and that they will be fruiting before they produce suckers. Then it will be too late. Perhaps I...

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

Thanks for asking. It has now been 7 1/2 weeks. They have fully recovered and I have recently returned them to their place in the sunny window. They have both grown three new leaves since...

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

One is 12" and one is 15". I started watering twice a week (like I do with my healthy plants) and that seems to be what it needed. I had been too afraid to water due to the root rot I was trying to...

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

I can say one thing for sure: They don't look any worse. I am encouraged that the remaining leaves have not worsened over the last 24 hours.

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

Here is an update:

I washed with bleach and trimmed all black roots. I tickled all the old soil away from the root system. http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=62255&size=1...

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

I just read bad reviews about the moisture control soil! Looks like I'd better re-pot ASAP if I want to save them!

Yeah. I like to see myself as the most northern banana farmer in the world. Two years ago, I actually harvested 22 bananas!
