Default Re: Darn, my D Brazlian is flowering!

remove 1/2 or 2/3 of hands

no point to wait, cut the flower off after your first 20-40 fingers are exposed

I've started culling my DC @ 55 fingers because winter is coming, even in FL.
My Mahoi is about to flower.
Looks like the first 4-5 hands for it too.
Sad? Yes.
Not as sad as 146 tiny, rotten, ruined bananas because I was greedy and left them all to NOT mature in time.

Heck, why not leave 10 fingers and see how big they get LOL
