Re: 2019 Banana Patch: Pensacola, Florida

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!

So basically the Pinch a Penny sand is twice the price? Hector told me the silica sand in the link above is what he uses.

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!

HMelendez, another question about the sand. Where do you find yours and what are the best deals for quantity/price/bulk? I saw this on HomeDepot, but it doesn't seem like coarse...

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!

One more thing HMelendez, maybe I should have PMed you instead of posting here, but for the sake of other people wanting to make these expandable domes I figured it is relevant to the thread. Best I...

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!

Is it completely sealed, ie. any leakage?

Clear packing tape or scotch tape?

Also what's the best way to cut it so they stack? Using a box cutter blade?

Does the second tier stack without...

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!

Ok, well I must have missed or didnt read yet in that lengthy thread, that you used your own soiless mix of sphagnum peat moss, perlite and silica sand. I was under the impression you used ONLY 100%...

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!

HMelendez, also how do you make those clear dome extensions? Do you just buy the dome and cut out the top to stack them? How do you seal it so water doesn't evaporate through the cracks?

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!

HMelendez, I haven't read the entire thread but the last page 5 and page 1. I'm still confused how these plants will grow in 100% pool silica sand. Are you supplying all of the nutrients via...

Re: MRFC Rare Fruit Tree Sale

I never checked back to this thread. Isn't it weird the guy from Going Bananas was selling an African Horn plantain, but when I asked him directly if he had any plantains, he said all sold out. Do...

Re: MRFC Rare Fruit Tree Sale

I got a nice Blue Jave from Celeste a week before the sale, I guess around 4foot tall. I was surprised I got it to fit in my car upright but it worked well. Celeste and her husband were very nice...

Large containers with no drainage holes

I purchased a few large containers that were made from resin/plastic and have no holes and the pots themselves seem more like double walled plastic so if I were to drill holes in the bottom the water...

Re: Anyone here selling Blue Java plants or pups?

Beam, once I saw it on the map, I remembered I was at that place before but it was for the Bradenton gun show they have a few times a year. Parking lot is huge so shouldn't have a problem finding a...

Re: Anyone here selling Blue Java plants or pups?

Earlier in this thread I started (post #15 to be exact) I was sort of joking about a Black Friday scenario of people waiting over night in a line to get in the doors first. Well this morning I...

Re: Anyone here selling Blue Java plants or pups?

That would be great if you can hold one for me. I'd like to buy 2 but I don't think I can swing 2 of them if they are $40 a piece. I guess I'll see what you have there on the 20th. Thanks.

Re: What variety of sweet plaintain do spanish (Cuban/Puerto Rican) restaurants use?

Do plaintains ever turn yellow? I always see them as green and hard as a rock in grocery stores. One time I tried to peel a green one and it shredded the skin and I bit into it and spit it out.
