Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Oh they can take it! When you TC Musa you take a tiny little piece of tissue and dip it in 100% denatured alcohol! 1:4 is the recommendation for TC also. And that tiny little explant soaks for 10-15 mins. Musa is a pretty amazing plant! I’ve hit pstems with a pretty good spray of roundup and they don’t slow down!
I eyeball it. I use an old “big” coffee can made of plastic. I bet I range from 1:4 to 1:6 or so. I have nothing bad here so I normally let it soak for 5mins or so. Incoming corms get pealed and soak for a good 20 mins. I’ve accidently left one overnight before and it never slowed down!
I’m not sure the exact ratio to kill say nematodes. I bet it’s not much! Think of how much they add to tap water, etc. now if your talking borers I wouldn’t touch bleach! I would boil the corms!! That’s the only proven method to kill them! I’ll take my grubs well done!
I have boiled some before! Just as a test! I think it said 15 minutes! I’m pretty sure I got scared and pulled it out at 10mins. Didn’t hurt the corm at all! And pealing a corm correctly wont even set you back! I can root a peeled coem just as fast as a non peeled corm in the proper conditions!
