Providing they are healthy, you should be able to separate them quite safely and, even if they come away with no roots, they should re-root fairly quickly, but wait until they are a reasonable size, if they are not already. 12" for each stem should be more than adequate. You can separate by hand or with a sharp knife or trowel. Outside plants are often separated with a spade, so it is not really a precise science. Some people prefer to treat any cut tissue with a fungicide before re-potting, but this is not usually necessary. http://palm-trees.org

banana tree indoors Jul 11, 2007 01:40 AM

Yes, they do die after flowering. This is a common trait of many plant species, including Bromeliads and even some palms, like Pigafetta & Corypha species. Most species of banana will produce multiple pups before reaching the flowering stage and the flower also produces a rhizome, so future propagation is easy enough. In terms of sunlight, there isn't a strict minimum, and the minimum level will vary between species, but with most bananas indegenous to areas relatively near the equator, they are used to little variance in day length between the seasons. Ideally 12 hours of light, be it direct or indirect would keep any banana happy, but the hardier varieties like basjoo, etc. can live without any light at all for months providing they are not actively growing at the time. http://palm-trees.org |
