Plantinyum,
Only a bit of information from a fellow chilly local weather banana grower who has a restricted expertise.
I grew a dwarf namwah to fruiting a few years again in a 35 gallon pot. I used a peat primarily based potting combine high dressed with selfmade compost. The dwarf tree had leaves pushing on the highest of my 14 ceiling at 18 months. When the give the peak of the plant they solely imply the stalk.Additionally after it fruited (57 bananas) the mom plant acquired so rootbound the soil wouldnt take in any water. And the pups struggled to get massive sufficient to flower in the identical pot. After I lastly gave up and lower down the tree, the soil within the pot was so heavy and dense with roots the soil was virtually unworkable for composting and recycling afterwards. So dont spend a bunch of cash on potting combine. If I have been do do it once more I believe Id make portion of the soil from a selfmade compost. Additionally Im unsure what would occur in the event you used a smaller pot.
Holy sh*t ,and it is a dwarf? The plant appears good, congrats on this acheavement .I keep in mind that my neighbours had a fruiting banana inside their home ,close to a east dealing with window, potted, i feel it was a cavendish of some kind, from the dwarf ones. I used to be very younger again then ,very a lot into vegetation as i’m now and when i noticed it i used to be simply speechles haha. I keep in mind that second some 12-15 years in the past. I believe that that was the second when my curiosity in direction of tropical fruit started to develop.
Anyway i took a leaf from this banana plant, pondering i may root it in water, what a dummy haha.🤣🤣
Really i had a cavendish that i used to be rising in a plastic barrel, the plant was fairly huge but it most sertainly was a brilliant dwarf cavendish, stem was no extra {that a} meter, very fats on the base. Quick ahead to at least one summer season when a hell hail shredded the leaves and that i simply coudnt have a look at it anymore and chopped it. It was such a beautifful plant, i actually like bananas visually.
Thanks for the ideas concerning rising, realizing that they dont want an enormous pot to fruit will avoid wasting complications alongside the way in which.
