Re: Red Abyssian Shootin Craps!??
My Red Abyssinian is also in a pot. Some of the leaves come out more fragile and vulnerable to burning after fertilizing (Miracle Grow, Tomato Food 20-20-20). It is my fastest grower, and gets lots of water.
It initially got full sun and did great. Due to construction it was moved to mostly shade with direct late afternoon sun. It lost colour and speed and seemed more likely to burn. Now it is back in all day FULL sun, the colour is VERY red, and it is stronger and faster than ever. Water every 2-3 days, highs in the 80's and 90's.
Hope this provides some insight,

Dan: Maybe the difference is the intensity of the Florida sun compared to that of New Jersey, although in mid summer it is still intense here. Also I've no sign of spider mites on the Maurelli, or any other bananas. However my Musella Lasiocarpa gets covered in them no matter what!!!
