@IdolSpinyphlox I would’ve had a video to show you but TikTok is banned… um here’s some photos! What banana variety do you have there? :)
@IdolSpinyphlox the photo above is late stages & this is when the bloom first opens !
Those are some neat pictures. I have a Cavendish tree. I have never seen anything blossom like that .Pretty amazing hope my tree does that well.Thank you for the pictures
@IdolSpinyphlox of course! I hope so too! It needs lots of humidity and light. They’re pretty large when they blossom! Best of luck πŸ€©πŸ’«πŸŒ± congratulations 🌱✨
@IdolSpinyphlox despite the name 'Dwarf Cavendish', these actually need to be at least 1.2m if i'm not wrong to fruit. And they usually do so at 1.5-1.8m, sometimes 2m. After fruiting twice they die and produce suckers at the bottom. I recommend cutting the suckers to promote fruit growth.

Growing them as houseplants is purely for decorative purposes, not edibility.
