Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Due to the climate here I grow all mine inside for ornamental purposes.

Here is my jungle room:


Pair of Truly Tinys and a pair of Variegated ones:


A 6 pack of mystery bananas:


My Ensete (older pic, it's very sick at the momen):


And check out this cool iridescent effect one of my zebrina pups is doing. Don't know if it's normal or permanent but it's cool:


Anyways, I've been lurking a long time and figure I'd post a hello.

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Thank you for the post. Nice collection! Also I'll be showing this to my wife in a few months..... :)

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

That's a very nice clean looking set up you have there! :08:

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Your Banana indoor banana patch looks great !!!

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Looks awesome! Where are you located.. I saw zone 4 on your sig?

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Newfoundland. I'm not sure what zone I am in. Canada and the US use different zone systems that can't be converted it seems. Doesn't get too cold here but a lot of snow. I think I am going to try some Basjoo outside next summer, all the snow should act as a good blanket.

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Loving your jungle room,is it wire shelves and led lighting?

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

It certainly is!


Shelves from Costco. $125CAD.

Lights from amazon for $110CAD.

Add some zip ties and a cheap WiFi timer plug and you're set. The elephant I actually got from your neck of the woods, somewhere in the UK a few months ago.

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Now that was a fun game!!! I found the elephant, looks grand.

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

All of your "zebrina" appear to be Cavendish.

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

The Zebrina I have has long leaves and appears to want to grow taller and slender, almost like the bordelons I have. Those plants actually look like my truly tinys did early on but have outgrown that (gorgeous) look.

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Could very well be. I just looked through pictures and thought they matched the Blood Banana more than the Cavendish. They were only labelled as 'Musa'.

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Here a few more pics. Can anyone ID them?



(the one in the bottom left is a different kind)

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Those angles tell me they're definitely truly tiny ;) but they don't look like the Zebrina I have.

No matter what they're gorgeous, healthy plants. Here are some shots of my zebrina

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

Okay, one more then. I thought the one on the left was Truly Tiny?

Re: Hello, pics of my naners.
 

The ones on the bottom left definitely look like Super Dwarf / Truly Tiny

Here are mine, Super Dwarf Cavendish on the left and Truly Tiny on the right.
Mine are a lot bigger (you can compare to the lounge chair right behind) but when smaller and younger they have wine stained leaves.
The Truly Tiny still has a little bit you can barely see.
Both of them have several pups that are hidden with all the leaves.

Some people say Super Dwarf Cavendish & Truly Tiny are the same thing, others say the real Truly Tiny is a Brazilian mutation.
Even if true chances are "Truly Tiny's" sold are actually re-labeled Super Dwarf Cavendish.
I'm growing both anyway
