Don't do this to your new pups
 

It started out like this. Nice big, healthy Truly Tiny pup that I separated off my mother plant.

Then I potted it up and forgot about it and left it in direct sun all week. Oops! It should recover just fine. I know better for next time.

Oups!

I know! I was trying to hurry last Sunday to get it separated and planted. Then I set it out and gave it a big drink and left it there. Then I was out of town with work all week. Good thing my wife gave it water. It could have been worse. Learning experience.

That was an awesome plant.........is it doing well now??

Re: Don't do this to your new pups
 

Yes, it took a while, but it pulled out of it. It got a lot worse before it started growing again. It is growing very slowly. Temps aren't good for growing bananas now. Lows in the 50s for a couple days should help. Next year it will kick some butt. I will get it looking good again and give it away.

That is good to know......I have a few that need some motivation.

I have another project banana plant that I got from my good friend Al. It is a Siam Ruby pup that hat no roots, and only about 1/2 it's corm. I have it about 4 feet from my wood stove in my living room. I have been checking it every Saturday for roots since I received it. Last Saturday it had one new root growing and I feel good that this plant is going to pull through. Just needed a little heat to get it going. This one will be a house plant this winter.
