Re: Bananas as waterplants???
Hey Folks, Sam here again.
I stopped in the 2nd nursery again to buy a couple more plants and maybe talk to the staff about those ensete's that are totally submerged.
Before I did though, I looked at the tag. On the front it shows a beautiful ensete maurelli. However, on the back, sure enough, just as Zacarias has said, there were planting instructions showing how deep in the water the plants should go. There was a diagram showing a plant with its pot totally submerged and something that said "DEPTH LEVEL 1".
**However at the bottom of the tag it said "Likes moist soil, but not soaking wet."
Huh?? Talk about conflicting instructions!
With the tag showing it as an aquatic plant I didn't care to argue with the staff. I guess I'll just watch these plants for the next little while and see what happens. I drive by this nursery everyday on the way to work and stop in there often.
