Hello, I'm Andrea, live in Kansas and a couple months ago bought my first banana plant. I just looked at the tag I kept and found out it is a "Basjoo Hardy" plant. Not hardy in Kansas I'll bet! It did great on the east side of house out of wind during the hot summer, needed water every day. Now its in our sun room, has 3 pups that grew to about 4-5 inches and are not growing any more. the main plant is about 5' tall and doing great. I might need to add a plant light. will wait til the tree on that side of house looses its leaves and the banana plant gets more direct sun light. I'd like to keep the pups in the same pot, so there is a greater fullness but don't know if that is recommended. Don't plan to repot until spring. We have a hot tub in the sun room so there is a lot of humidity. Most of my plants like it, not sure the begonias will appreciate it tho. Glad I finally got registered and became a member,,, this will be interesting and informative... Thanks, Andrea

Hey and welcome aboard.
Basjoo ARE the hardiest banana: grows fasterest and pup much more often IMO. Great starter/beginning banana plant! Just a word of warning if your bananas get small spots on the leafs during these coming months they are getting too much water... Very interested to see pictures! But yeah bananas need much less water in winter, just a word of warning. |

Appologies for entering this thread.. the matters are about similar. I am 'lampo' /Francisco, recently introduced and planning to start with 3 adequate varieties for in ground planting, on a south facing gentle slope. Climate is Mediterranean (mild winters.. never sub zero C's and very long, hot and dry summers. Soil is more on the lime side but may correct if need be.. plenty of organic fertilizer (manures - sheep, rabbit, chicken, etc..) What varieties you think more suitable ?? please Thank you Francisco Portugal |
