They keep growing and growing.
We started around July 1st with one plant approx. 8" tall with 2 leaves and have managed to sprout 3 shoots.
It currently is about 2'.
My pink bananas
She's beautiful! I have some seeds that I need to get started.
Seeds can take forever. I started some from seed last year, and did manage to get 1 plant. They did say sometimes it could take up to a year to get a plant from seed.
knotimpaired, what kind of potting soil do you have your nana in?
Linda
A mixture of topsoil, sand and peat moss. Then we topped it off with about 5" of sand. The sand keeps it moist.
We also have used a nana fertilizer.
If you would like a live plant I am going to Puerto Rico in the next few weeks and would be glad to pick one up if one is available.
Let me know.
how much do they usually run? Where is PR? Boy do I sound dumb?
He's talking about Puerto Rico in the Caribbean.
those are cool i have several different banana but not that one yet i did 7 pups off of my musa lasiocarpa and 4 off one of my zebrina but there still growing strong. the pink is my next choice i love them but just havnt come across at the right time lol.
Well heck 2pugdogs. I am so impatient on those slow to no germinating seeds, lol.
Notimparied, how much do you think the nannas will cost?
Carlab68, I seen one of the musa lasicarpa on the tropical forum. I really like the way that one looks as the older leaves die away. I am just now getting into bananas. I am in love with those huge leaves. I hope your feeling better by the way.
WyGardener, I said it was dumb, or could I just say it was a blonde thing, or a age thing. But thanks a lot. knotimpaired will you be able to ship to us, cause I'm real interested.
Linda
thank you i will have around 7 babies from my lasiocarpa if you ever wanna trade im allways looking for nrw nanners
Sorry, Labor Day kept us busy. We can get the pink nanas for about 15, a dollar or two either way.
2pugdogs,
You want one? My husband and I will be going to Puerto Rico sometime in the next few weeks.
I will call a friend that writes book on Tropicals and ask him the best way to ship them.
Karen
Yes Karen pick me one up. Then you let me know the cost and the price for shipping and I will get you paid.
