I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

It was on the clearance rack. What is it? It's very short; it's supposed to be kept inside. Oh and it needs bright light and is a "mood booster". I will contact the vendor tomorrow: delrayplants.com But a search of their site for musa or banana (pot is marked musa) does not satisfy. No wine marks but is it a Dwarf Cavendish?





ETA: I did e-mail them and got an automated reply. Wanna bet they don't know what plant they sold? Happens a lot...at least to me...

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

I don't think it's a Cavendish. They have wine stains and red on the petioles.

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

Do seeded musas make pups? Are there any musas that don't flower at all? If you or anyone knows...

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

I know seeded ones still make pups...I imagine they all flower, plants reproduce, it's really all they do.

Kelley replied and says she's an SDC. I paid $4.34 (I think) and maybe tax; I'd have to check. There are others on the rack. Does anyone want me to go grab another?

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

I want 2.

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

I guess I'll go ahead and go clear the shelves tomorrow. If they're gone, I'll have pups at some point. I don't do paypal but we can figure this out I suspect.

They had 8 of the same ones in the W. Melbourne walmart on Palm bay road this afternoon... Some had wine stains, but few stains. They don't really look like Cavendish, but then again they really aren't, are they?

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

Mine doesn't look Cavendish either. But I'd already assumed either TT or SDC since the supplier is in FL so I was not surprised to be right. I honestly have no idea why they didn't play up the potential for fruiting and instead labeled them them foliage "mood" plants; with proper marketing they'd have sold out to collectors at full price I'd think. Or been snapped up by Floridians who can no longer send citrus plants to friends up north. So buy some for Yankee buds! But do tell them them might produce bananas.

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

Hummm ... l'll check out Tallahassee WalMart this weekend. My 2 local Georgia WalMarts don't have bananas, nor does Lowes.

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

Me too ....I did a Treasure Coast, Walmart /Home Depot/Lowes check ...

I picked these out at Lowes down the street from you in your name.....

I have a DC already. She pups up a storm; I've already give away 3 of her progeny which apparently take after mom in that they are exceedingly fertile. Let me know if you want a "mood boosting" plant. Many moons ago I grew other MB plants...but now I'm circumspect so I gots none.

PS Why didn't you stop by if you were up the street from me? Do I need to post a picture and prove I'm human?

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

I drove by but.. "

But while I did that: I rearranged the plants.:)

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

I was once *this close* to submitting a huge order to them and stopped. Long before the Net with all the warnings but something seemed off so I didn't write the check. Yeah! I've had great plants from Michigan Bulb and those other "do not order from" places; my highly coveted black fig cost $3 in the 80s and her "figsticks" have pleased a lot of ficophiles. My current MO favorites are Artistic gardens (sample seed packs) and Simmons (brambles).

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

Fast..... fun fact.....Michigan Bulb is five miles from my home in Southwest Ohio.
Yeppers...... right down the street across two rivers and over the hill.


Great place to dumpster dive.:woohoonaner:

Re: I bought a foliage plant at Walmart
 

The Tallahassee WalMart (US 319 North) is about 20 mi from me. TyTy is 80 or 90 miles. I may go up to TyTy next spring to look at their nanas. ... Thanks ...

Jungle Jim's and Michigan Bulb? Boy did I live in the wrong part of Ohio. We have exploding some time missiles here...
