Pete- Are you a little tipsy?

:bananas_b
No, but I've been at the potting bench all day. I'll be seeing containers and mix in my sleep.

i tried setting up the secret machine pete!!! but no luck :(

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Jiggle the handle.
Hit it with a hammer.
Reboot the flux capacitor.
If none of these work, read the directions.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Two days ago, I potted up a California Gold pup that I stored bare-root in the workshop all winter. We'll see how it does.

:2200:A Musa accuminata banksii from Bigdog!!!

The pot is a temporary home, and it is of good size. Good job Bigdog!!:2239:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Bumped my smaller D. Niño up to a 15 from a 10. It'll proly need to go up to at least a 20 in a few weeks though :P

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Potted up 2 pups from a Thai mini cultivar. I gave a pup to a friend and got 2 back! Good deal, rite? :ha:

I don't know what this is cos I got it as a tiny TC plant from Bkk about 2 years ago. I gave 1 to my brother who grew it to fruiting. The fruits were really small like the size of the index finger, seedless and sweet. All the fruits pointed upwards like a Callimusa! Weird. I can't wait for mine to fruit.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I "stepped up" 5 Thai Blacks, 4 Ebun Musaks, and one Kru. The Kru already has two pups on it! I'll step it up again soon when I remove the pups. :2239:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I "stepped up" five Red Dwarfs. They are TC from AgSt I got late last year. They are doing well! :2239:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I stepped up two dwarf Puerto Rican Plantains, and a Gros Michael. :2239:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I just received the Musa itinerans from Brent, it was in good condition and can be viewed in my photo gallery under banana cultivars. Good job Brent!!!:2239:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I just repotted my 4 bananas today
They are doing pretty good so far
They slid out of the old pots without any problem

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Right on, thread stuck!

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I've been picking mangos and keeping the fruit stand loaded. Can't wait to get back to the bananas 100%.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Dang it! Too bad you can't bananas to TX...I'd be hitting you up for a GM pup. We must figure a way around this. Let me sleep on it. :bed:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I forgot to post this yesterday, I thinned mats and potted up Dwarf nam Wa(s), SH-3640's, a Saba. I will plant them later at another site. Check out my photo gallery!

Good growing!!! :2239:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I repotted an I'm-not-sure-what baby today.

(I bought a dwarf namwah and a double mahoi from the same buyer, and they came without labels. No idea which one is which, they're both more or less identical right now.)

Anyhow, one of them was in a ceramic pot, just because that's what I had, but it was sucking the poor thing dry, I've been having to water it constantly. So today I re-potted it in a plastic pot. And noticed when I did that the roots are really starting to grow! Huzzah.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I potted a Dwarf Kluay Nam Wah this evening. I am adamant to get it to fruit in a pot. I have another one in the ground at my nursery. I just love the taste of the Klauy Nam Wah, not overly sweet and very buttery...sllurrppp! :02:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I didn't post this yesterday because I read about Tog & was too upset to concentrate...

Well, it was yesterday that I repotted these Dwarf Orinoco's.
Their former homes you can see are on the bottom left...LOL! :)

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Not a banana, but I potted up a cutting of Plumeria. It broke off of my 6 ft. tree when I was transplanting it from a pot to the ground for the summer. Had to wait until the end was calloused first. Already has 2 leaves on it!

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Re-potted my Florida Variegate and bumped my High color mini to a 30 gallon.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Just picked up a Musa Bordelon' Banana and a Musa Dwarf Cavindish from lowes they had broken leaves and pot was dry so I got them for 6.50 each maybe they will make it. Bordelon had three pups with it in a little 8" pot so I stuck them in a bigger pot to try to nurse them back to health. pictures in gallery. Banana Gallery - cowboyup4christ Album

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Sadly all but one of our bananas are potted, with a basjoo planted in front yard!!

OH do we need a heated greenhouse!:drum:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Two new Dwarf Orinocos and I repotted the Truly Tiny on the grounds that I should probably have used a 6 inch pot to begin with.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Yesterday, I potted an impulsively-bought Zebrina root-bound from 1 gallon into probably a 3 or 5 gallon decorative pot. I really missed it, believe it or not, after losing it this past winter!

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Today I traded with a neighbor and got a Hua Moa (Hawaiiano) pup that was three feet tall, and a unknown sweet banana plant(almost three feet) whose fruit gets to be larger than a foot long.

Rooting hormone was added during the potting process to speed up the process. The pots are only a temporary home. Good weather and growing to all!! :2239:

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

California Gold- Dwarf Orinoco -Texas Star

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

:woohoonaner:

Lets see if the Texas Start can catch up! Looks like you're ready for a race, Tony! :D

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

That was the idea. A couple more weeks and I will put them in the ground , within 6ft. of each other , and see what happens.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

I got 4 of my bananas from Scot...



Just need to put a light layer of mulch on top & they're ready to grow!!

Hope to get my Kru & SDC soon!!! :) ~Cheryl

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Cheryl,

I sent you a PM about the Kru & SDC. I don't know if you've read it since I haven't heard back from you. And although I'm not sure, I think that I also sent you an email, as well. If you have not read the PM nor the email, please let me know. I will re-send them. Also, you might check your Spam mail for my email: Neurhealth@aol.com. It might have gone there.

Thanks.

Chong

This evening I transplanted 74 former tissue cultures from 2-inch pots to 2 gallon pots. Tomorrow I have another 30 or so to finish.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Yesterday, I potted up my one and only banana for the third time in as many months. It is growing like a weed, and is getting hard to move around.
But it still hasn't developed any "high color"...

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Potted two of the 5 bordelon pups that were surrounding my plant if they make it they will need a new home.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Potted up Grand Nain yesterday. :) ~Cheryl

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

The last three that I planted were Manzano, Hua Moa and Siam Ruby. Digging in the limestone is quite a workout but the plants look good already and the SR has a few pups. I have mounded about 3" of fresh horse manure mixed with bedding around the p-stems, out to a 3' radius over the cleared off soil. The three plants are in a single SSE-NNW row, 12' apart. I also fertilized the recently planted RP with fresh horse manure collected near the street. Continuing to clear land for planting on a daily basis. Never a dull moment in this Florida weather.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Wow!!! 3 beautiful varieties Sigi!!

I repotted my California Cold & potted up my Dwarf Orinocos!

:) ~Cheryl

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

re potted two of my dwarf Orinocos that decided to grow out of the pot and into the ground. Also one Pisang Ceylon which didn't like the ground it was in and Three Bordelon pups.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
 

Never heard of Tuu Ghia!! :)
Today I potted up my big dbl mahoi & misi luki - both getting rootbound again this year. I also cut a nice sword pup off mahoi & potted that.

Re: What did you pot today (Bananas)
