Re: Separating Basjoo Pups
 

Hi Raules, growing bananas outdoors is not a matter of night as much as of day's temperatures. If they are adequatly high, you might be able to grow them in Irkutsk.
People in Kapratsky region in Slovakia (look on the map) are growing basjoos too and their night temperatures fall just like yours. But they observed, that when the day temps are up to 28°C, that's the most ideal. However it is problematic to grow them in winter, since Karpatsky region is mountains with USDA zones ranging from 1 to 6. :D
How big do you have your greenhouse anyway? It looks so huge and dominant? Very nice pictures.

Hi Jack! I will try to plant the following year Musa Basjoo on the street. But first they must be reproduced so as not to lose this kind of. He had this hour there are puppies and I will separate them and then grow. This hothouse of the Botanical Garden. It is quite large. I helps them to grow bananas, bamboo, pineapple, palm trees. Banana Collection already contains more than 10 varieties.

We have been in an extreme heat for the past 5 days with temps feeling over 100F. My poor Basjoo's leaves are suffering a bit, even though it's been sheltered from the sun with an umbrella. It's in a rock bed which I know is making the heat worse so I've covered the surrounding area with sheets and it seems to have helped today. The pup I planted in the front rock bed is suffering a bit too, now especially that it's newly planted, can anyone suggest something I can do for it besides the obvious watering everyday? It's looking a bit yellow at the base and it's pup is too. It must be in shock from being removed and planted just before all this heat!

It's due to be fertilized so I'll add epsom salts too.
