Default Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)

Hi Mike,

Yes, the patupi is very good at pupping. It usually throws several pups right before the main plant dies back! This year I had my plant get 2' tall before that happened. I think it got too much water - even growing in a fabric pot!

I'm not sure what the secret sauce is to get this plant to grow properly. I am improving my methods since the mean time between die backs is getting longer. This last one lived 8 months!

I will keep trying since the foliage is very pretty but I don't have high hopes.
