Default Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)

~ Repotted my SDC from its 16 gallon to a 21 gallon wine container liner. It was root bound more that I thought so it will like the extra growing room. This is the biggest pot that I will be able to provide if I am to keep bringing it in for the winter as my walk in closet door is only 26" and a wider pot will not fit. If it can't bloom in this pot then no bananas for me. Unless I can get a banana patch growing outside that I plan to I start this spring and it grows to size enough to bloom.

~ I also removed 3 pups as I transplanted and took one of the pups to my Mom. I have a few other local friends that once said they would like starts too.

~ For more than these pictures of the whole process check out my Banana blog.

Root bound from the 16 gallon pot.
I separated and repotted 3 sword pups.
My SDC is now repotted in new 21 gallon wine container liner and 3 of its pups in pots ready for new homes.
