Musa Sikkimensis not happy in hot temps?
I have 3 of these guys I grew from seed, and none of them are doing well here. This is their second year with the pstem preserved, and they are all still about 3 feet, and growth is pretty much non existent. I took a pup and potted it up in potting mix, and it has been sitting there for 2 months with no growth, but still green. I am starting to think they are so cold hardy because they come from a place that is cooler than it is here in summer, perhaps in the mountains? I see a lot of photos of them being grown in the UK, and Europe, but very few from the US, maybe this is why? I dont think they can handle our days in the high 90's, this have been very disappointing, I really like the way they look when they grow well with their bright red leaf undersides.
