Re: Self Watering Containers

Banana plant roots need air! So when the pot soil mix is course & fast draining, as needed by the plants, the soil will not have the capillary ability to draw water up from the bottom of the pot. ...

Re: Planting taller varieties in deep holes?

Re: cut down/leave main trunk, cut out/leave pups

I never cut down the pseudostem until at least all of the leaves have dried out, and even then usually not til the pseudostem has stopped being firm and green. As long as there are leaves, there is...

Re: Started flowering in winter

Nor more new leaves. The flowering cycle will continue to completion, even in winter. As long as the pseudostem is viable, they should ripen in the spring. You really can't alter the trajectory and...

Re: Questions about Dwf brazilian

Yes, DB is called apple in Hawaii. Manzano means apple in Spanish but is a different variety. Manzano is taller with a very skinny Pseudostem that falls over ridiculously easy.

Re: Is the fruit salvageable?

Not much you can or need to do except just keep them inside for awhile and eventually they will ripen. If you really want to try and speed them up, you can place them along with some apples or other...

Re: Wording question on TARS 18171 African Rhino curator notes

I would interpret that to mean the first time it fruits it has a certain number of hands, perhaps 2-3, and then on subsequent fruitings from the same mat it has less hands, probably just one.

Re: Anyone ever get plants from here?

No, but the entire site appears to be a bunch of B.S. In particular, a phytosanitary certificate in Thailand is $90 U.S. dollars and the prices are far below that.

Re: Persistent Herbicides EXTREME threat

Those herbicides listed are Auxinic herbicides which at non-lethal doses cause fast distorted growth. In bananas, the symptoms should be similar to calcium or boron deficiencies.
