Re: For real Blue Java
 

What's wrong with them? R they right out of a tissue culture dish or something?

Re: For real Blue Java
 

Looks like they are beginning recovery.. adding to inventory is good.. Good Luck Tony.. :^)

Re: For real Blue Java
 

Put some baggies on them to keep humidity high. Just avoid direct contact with plastic.

Re: For real Blue Java
 

Are they tissue culture and if so where from? How can you be sure they are the real deal unless they are pups from a flowered and fruited mother plant? I am so confused!

Re: For real Blue Java
 

Yes brand new they still have agar on them.

Done

Re: For real Blue Java
 

Where did u get them Tony?

Re: For real Blue Java
 

I just today got two Blue Java and I'm as proud and happy as you must be, thanks to a kind member on the West Coast.

Without going into detail it has been one of "those days", like a day from Hell where you think it can't get any worse unless you die. Then the mailman came and brought me two Blue Java and things didn't look so bad after all. So what the greenhouse collapsed under a gust of wind and weight of rain, at least it's not cold; in fact, it was 79 degrees today and no cold in sight. So what the car has a flat tire and the truck wont start, at least my neighbor left his keys in his truck before he took off to Birmingham. When I got my two Blue Java I was too happy to care.

Thanks for the pictures, Tony and thanks to my friend out West for my Blue Java. Made my day!

It will be a miracle if these make it in this cold :woohoonaner:

Re: For real Blue Java
 

Your house is heated, right? Bring them inside it.

Re: For real Blue Java
 

No way. They either make it or they don't.:0519::ha:

Re: For real Blue Java
 

I always acclimate my precious TC plants in my heated basement at around 22-26C under strong artificial lighting,inside a closed transparent plastic storage box,and have never lost one with this method. Growth is really fast too in those conditions and the bananas are ready for outdoor planting in the spring :)

Happy growing!!!

Re: For real Blue Java
 

You are brave. The temps went down to 27F at my house near the coast last night and you live near by....
My banana plants look horrible, even with frost cloth. Hope that at least the corm or p-stem will survive....

Re: For real Blue Java
 

These tissue cultures where did they come from? Some one on the list?
On the west coast?
If you tell me Ill share my fertilizer secret with you :)
