Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
 Hello Banana Buddies and Plant Pals:Oh I am so excited because a very kind soul from this forum has mailed me a Siam Ruby banana plant!!! : O This thread will be a place for me to document my success, and show how it is doing. I am hoping it may arrive in the mail today. I have a nice big pot ready for it when it gets here, with some terrific compost to pot it up in. How thrilling to have this gorgeous and stunning variety. I'll let ya's know when it arrives... : ) |
Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Im excited for you! I remember waiting for Nanners to come in staring at the spot where it was going to go.

Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Awesome! Glad to hear about your SR...they're really stunning plants. How big is yours? Do you have pictures? Mine is getting pretty tall now (up to my chest) and is doing pretty well. Hope you have great success with yours!

Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
It hasn't actually arrived yet, but I am hoping it will show up for me today. Excited is actually an understatement - more like ecstatic.
Yes, I am staring at the pot constantly, imagining my new red beauty in it. Well I am told that it is not really small but not super big either. Pictures? Goodness yes, I am the queen of pictures, so not to worry. Fingers crossed that I get to shower it with love and care today... : ) |
Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
I am still waiting for it to arrive - maybe tomorrow. Snail mail is never reliable. As soon as it does get here, you guys wil be informed.
Thanks for the tips about light - yup knew that. I will have it in nothing but full sun. : ) |

Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Well, I got my Siam Ruby yesterday in the mail!!!!!
: O I am so grateful to have it and cannot thank Bob enough. I had some of my most prized potted plants stolen from me a short time ago and Bob was so kind to offer me a Siam Ruby to make me feel better. He also sent me some other amazing plants as a surprise... ~ Plumeria ~ High Color Mini banana ~ Date Palm I nearly fainted when I opened the 2 & 1/2 foot long box, and saw all these wonderful plants inside - wow. Thank you once again, Bob. You're just the best, and I have pretty much forgotten the nightmare that happened a couple weeks back. I know you all wanna see a picture of my Siam Ruby, but she's just a stump right now, so give her time to recuperate. I am just so glad to have her here with me now. How fun and exciting. Here's a shot of my Plumeria branch - just because it's too nice not to show...   Here's how the flowers will look and they are very fragrant too...  When my Siam Ruby gets going, I'll be sure to show a shot. Thank you, Bob! : ) |
Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Plumeria are super easy to grow. I know that stokes tropicals used to have a marvelous collection but I never bought any of these from them. I never sell my plants , just give away the extras. Peoples thanks and generosity in return is worth much more than the few bucks I'd probably squander anyway.

Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Cant wait for the SR picture :D

Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
More like stop telling them what's inside your package, Wolfebc! Be like Bob, and write 'children's toys inside'!!!
: O I do the same though - especially when I mail to the US. I just lie! No harm done - I know my stuff is clean. Ok, here's the Siam Ruby, but it is in really bad shape right now...  |
Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Sorry Bob - didn't want to show it, but they made me!!!
I was going to wait for it to 'pretty up' first, but Blake just had to insist! LOL! : ) |
Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
:D

Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Yeah well...........it's looked better! It will perk up and had a good root system so not to worry.
|
Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Yeah, the roots were really nice I noticed, so I am not worried at all.
: ) |
Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Are you in B.C. Canada, Wolfebc?
I'll send ya a basjoo banana pup in the Spring - forgot about the US. : O |
Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Just realized yup you're in Canada! I'll take care of ya come Spring - not to worry.
: ) |
Re: Growing Siam Ruby in Ontario, Canada...
Yes, I will for sure show pictures when it blooms, not to worry.
