Re: dead, or what

Resprouting from the middle. Again, thanks for helping me get this thing going!

Now I'm starting to wonder about some purple sugarcane I've got going. I presprouted it in damp paper, but when I put...

Re: dead, or what

Well I had some help, of course. I have never mail ordered corms before, but now I feel a lot more confident.

I just finished potting it up and watered it in.
THEN it occurred to me that perhaps I...

Re: dead, or what

I put the dead-looking corm into PFS early Feb. Warm as I could get, lots of sun.
Checked it a few weeks later: nothing.
Kind of gave up on it.
But I always wait to really give up.
Just pulled it...

Re: dead, or what

Yes, it's still heavy.
I don't have a greenhouse. What can I do to simulate this?
It's in my warmest and brightest room, but not getting direct sun at the moment. Decent humidity.
Daytime is about...

dead, or what

I got this black banana late 2014 - it was dug off a mat and as you may be able to see below, it was kind of a slice of the corm. But it was big, so I thought it would be OK. Didn't have many roots...

Re: Banana pest?

I use a LED flashlight to look for pests (in the foliage) at dusk/night. The quality of the light I find great for making them stand out.

They may also be in the soil and since so large, you may be...

Re: really rootbound

Ah, I'm glad I asked, I would have been messing with the roots. On most plants I am pretty careful with the roots but I thought naner roots were pretty expendable. Hopefully it is good to trim off...

really rootbound

Just picked up a mekong giant in a 1gal pot. First time I have ever had to cut a pot to remove & repot a plant!

This thing is pretty much solid roots. The ones that had grown out the bottom and were...

Re: My landlord is making me get rid of my bananas!

That does suck.
I guess it is good that your rent covers utilities, tho.
I would definitely ask her to reconsider, what do you have to lose? Definitely mention the guy upstairs. Oh, and BTW, you are...

Re: What is this White Crap?

I may be wrong here, but I don't think there are any negative concerns with guttation and I am not sure how closely it is related to soil moisture.
So I would be cautious letting them dry out. I...

Re: How are everyone's banana plants this winter??

whoa, I think you actually cannot do water cuttings with plumies.
try plumeria101.com for info.
But I agree, seed grown plant may take a bit to bloom. Sorry, that should have been my first answer!
I...

Re: What is this White Crap?

Ah that is a good point, it could be guttation, I suppose. In the one photo there is a fine powder all along the ripped edge which didn't fit with my insect assumption. The guttation would be more of...

Re: DIY greenhouse - $30 maybe

LOL, I'm sure it's more than a few more squirrels around.

What bait did you use in the traps?

Re: garage overwintering ?

Ah, I do recall that about the Dwarf Cav. Shoot.
Any comments on whether keeping them in pots of soil will work in a garage?

I might be able to find room in a closet in the house. It's probably...

garage overwintering ?

I got most of my tropicals inside the house, but found that I do not have room for a few bananas. These are some (probably) dwarf cavendish, although they could be super dwarfs.
I want to try cold...

Re: Repotting in Winter??

I have found that they really do better without the large volume of soil over winter. While they do stay alive and grow, I don't think they are putting out significant root growth.

If they are...
