Default Re: AeAe learning Greek now

Just an update on how my 9 months old AeAe is doing in mediterrean climate:



I have to say, it's my fastest growing naner at the moment. It's putting out a leaf every week and leaf size is increasing "dramatically" once a new leaf has unfolded!

As you can see, it has a little sunburn. But it only gets direct sun from around 5:00 untill the sun dissapears behind the building across the street at around 8:30. But it might be still to much. When it get's bigger, it'll have more shade from the balcony above :-)

I water very little, but with more and bigger leaves and current temps I have gone up to every two days. But I think the soil mix is good and doesn't hold the water very long.

Thanks to all of you, who helped me to get this beauty to where it is now!
