i was just googling these.. they're so gorgeous, and that "other" gardening site came up in a google..
someone there posted that they've got pups for trade for other bananas
so, i just *HAD* to email them, asking if they would accept postage for one..
lol
i do hope they agree to it (doubtful)
if they do, i have no idea what i'll do with it, though!
pot plant, i guess?
what kind of dirt?
to fertilize/not to fertilize?
i know how much these things cost in nurseries and stuff, so if i get one for just postage, i'm gonna do my darnedest to not kill it!
but i'll need the help of all you experts here :)
i've just got one other nanner.. and i'm not really doing much for it, it's kind of just in a pot, doing it's banana-thing
lol
ae ae nanner
Don't be surprized if the postage is 100 bucks.......
Miss_kitty, good luck. This one is hard to grow, very sensitive. The pups from what I have read may or may not be varigated. It does not like much sun and little wind and the soil ph must be 6.0.

Heres mine...does great when warm and humid..it burns in midday sun,needs moist NOT WET soil and they die easily. LOL I had several pups all are gone but one..and its in a greenhouse with 85F bottom heat.Not an easy to grow form.The goofball in the pic is my roomate/boarder. LOL
There's your problem Kyle. Shaun is killing them. LOL!! It looks great. I don't think I'd want to even try growing something that tempermental.
well.. i'm not going to go out and buy one
but if this person gives me one for postage i'll take one and try to keep it alive
These sell in Europe for over $400 US.Wish I had 20 of em to sell on Ebay..I'd be rich!!LOL
