Nice new leaf! 😁
Going through water like crazy. Once every two days. Anyone else? #BlueJavaBananaTree #Banana #Zone9Plants
Last watered 1 year ago
It’s a lot cooler in my part of the world, so I’m actually slowing down on the watering. I’m trying to figure out how to keep my outdoor plants alive as the weather begins to cool πŸ€”
@LaSiguanaba oh yes I’m sure. We have plenty of >90 degree days left. Probably all the way up to the first or second week of November.
@PlantLord I remember… I used to live in Texas a very long time ago. πŸ˜‰
@LaSiguanaba @PlantLord

....until the first or second week of November, because in the third week of November an epic freeze descends upon the state causing a pandemic of utility outages. 😞
@UltraKoreanfir yeah…..I’m not looking forward to figuring out where I can bring in all my plant friends from the cold. Happy they’re all in pots though. I’d be super nervous if they were in ground.
Oh man this little cutie reminds me of my banana tree when it was a baby. Once I put him in the ground he quickly turned into a monster and unfurls a new giant leaf almost every 2 days!
@AffableFantasy Awesome specimen! I’m thinking it’s time to put mine in the ground, but this horrible clay soil will definitely need an amendment. What kind of soil did you use for yours?
I have clay soil as well which is annoying so I had to dig a hole (bigger than the pot it came in) and I put gardening soil in the hole, planted, then more gardening soil to cover the top and around the inside of the hole i dug to surround the roots. And so far, so good!
