Default Re: Musa Laterita set to BLOOM!!!

Nice looking laterita, Randy! I now have mine in a pot as well since it spreads so much if it's in the ground (at least in a warm climate like here). I potted it up as one pup in about a 15 gallon pot in the spring. It now has about 6-8 stalks of varying heights and has bloomed about 4 or 5 times. My avatar is of this plant. I also have several pics of it in my gallery.

When I had this plant in the ground I used to give away pups about 3 times a year. I will definitely have several in the spring if anyone is interested then. I don't really want to try to dig out any pups from the pot right now as I'm afraid it would hurt the overall health of the plant if I did. Plus the average height of the plant is about 7-8' feet and it's behind a 'Black Magic' EE that is almost 6' tall! A little tough to get to.
