Re: Sad banana plants

Yeah, but I know the animals have to be placed in heated and pressurized locations or they will suffocate and/or freeze to death. Temps of -30F are not uncommon at those altitudes. If the box wasn't...

Re: Sad banana plants

I do not think that altitude or subfreezing temperatures have caused these plants to look the way they look. Sensitive plants and animals get shipped with planes around the world all the time without...

Re: Sad banana plants

I'm thinking that with the freeze damage, you want to keep them moist but not wet, as that may lead to rot. I could be wrong though.

Re: Sad banana plants

Yeah, the mats with plenty of moisture until they sprout might be a good plan. Daylight is enough for now. Wait until they stabilize before you do anything else.

Re: Sad banana plants

Just hope that the corm wasn't hit too badly with the cold. Keep them wherever it's warmest. Keep them watered and as JP pointed out, keep them out of the sun! You're going to have to treat them like...

I bought mine from a company called Green Earth, but it was in Florida. I'd venture a guess yours traveled via cargo jet at high altitudes and sub freezing temps to get there in a week. Anyone else...

Re: Sad banana plants

Yikes, they do look awful. The corm may still be alive, so don't give up hope just yet.

Re: Sad banana plants

How big are they? Generally, you can remove the leaves except for the one growing in the center. It will help the plant put more toward the roots, rather than struggling with the leaves. I also soak...

Re: Ice cream banana

Bananas are not a hardwood. Their tissue is mostly filled with tiny packets of water. An above ground covering will not keep the soil moisture, roots, and bulb from freezing (and death) in sustained...

Re: Ice cream banana

You might also check out a variety called 'Novak', which apparently stays <1 meter. I'm new to banana culture and haven't taken the plunge yet, but this one looks like a distinct possibility.

Re: Ice cream banana

Edible bananas are a tropical annual that grow from a bulb-like structure called a corm. The main stalk dies after it flowers and fruits. While it is growing the main bulb produces side bulbs which...

Re: Ice cream banana

Edible bananas have no seeds and hence there are none available for Ice Cream banana.

Also, I'm hoping you have a very tall year-round greenhouse for the cultivation of bananas in Sweden.
