Default Re: Musa Rubinea.

I wish I hadn't killed mine . I would like to try it again.

Gee, I'm with you, Zac. I thought the flower would have been much more red! From the picture on the Nature Products website, it looks solid red:


Growing conditions, soil, or something else to blame there? What was your source, Richard? Did you pollinate it, and if so, with what?

By the way, is it just me, or is Nature Products very proud of their plants? Have you seen the price for a .5 kg (just over a pound) corm of musa rubinea??? 130 euros! That amounts to about $167 US!!!!
