Wow ,always wondered if that plant was a myth.Better keep it locked up,that would be high on my list if I was a plant-napper
CC..you plant napper!! LOL it is pretty......
Kyle, i was born and raise in the tropics. never in my life have i seen a variegated banana :)!!!
I just planted mine in-ground, once it got settled (2-3 weeks) it now produces new foliage about every week. I can't wait til it produces a pup.... I'll give out cigars.

Randy...I'll tell you a secret...the pups don't always show above ground for a long time..the one this pup came from had numerous pups below the soil line that were big enough to take off and grow.Otherwise it makes about 1 larger pup..till its removed...then another activates..thats what makes these so slow to increase or so it would seem! :-)
So whata ya gotta do...keep digging it up to check for pups or only get 1 pup at a time?
C.C. - I am grabbing my shovel and heading your way to pick you up. You can distract Eclipse and I'll dig for pups :-) Very pretty nanna tree there.
Ok take me to go with you. LOL
Its a conspiracy....LOL
watch out Kyle! at least these two are brave enough to come out front. no way of telling how many more there are. LOL!!!!
its the sneaky ones that'll git'cha!
hey, at least we are honest plant crooks.. ;-)
Wow.. Justmelisa.. take me with you too.. LOL... I never see this plant before.. Pretty!
