Might be on wrong thread...sorry....but Jan 31, 2008 10:33 AM

Am looking for tips on Mandevilla. Brought one inside last fall, growing in the house. I didn't prune it in the fall, and some of the leaves are still on the vines and look ok. The top is getting alot longer and crawling up the wall. Should I cut it back in spring when I move it outdoors again or let it go? Not concerned whether or not it gets really large, just want abundant leaves and some flowering. It is, and will be, in a pot when it goes back outdoors....jb JB

Thanks....if you hear anything more please let me know. I'm not sure if the new shoots are connected to the mother stalk, or if they have their own little tubers, roots or whatever...new to bananas, and haven't dug around in the pot to find out because I'm waiting for spring. Then I can move it back outside and can attack it to find out whats going on down there. Want to repot it anyway but not in winter and not in the house. Figure I would let it ride out its winter stage. Doesn't seem to be too dormant though. Been indoors for a few months now but still putting out new leaves......jb JB

Have I killed my banana tree Jan 28, 2008 10:52 AM

Not an expert here, but if I were you, I would leave it alone, let it die back if thats what it wants to do....back off on the water and let it go dormant. Then in spring chances are it will produce new shoots at the bottom, or in the middle of the main stem. My tree started dieing the first year after I got it. Didn't know what to do so I moved it indoors, let it all go brown and dry up, but I still watered just a little once a week, like a cup of water. This past early spring, it began shooting babies up from bottom, and I peeled the dead center stem and leaves off, and there was new growth INSIDE the dead brown foliage.....couldn't believe it.....its growing like crazy now and I need to divide it up....the pot is getting overcrowded with new shoots......jb JB

Greetings all....newbie here. Just wanted to get started on how to tend to my banana tree as best I can. I am in Illinois, so it is in a pot indoors right now. I've had it for two years now, in its pot. The main stem is about 2-3 feet tall with several new babies coming up at the bottom which are getting large fast. So whats the plan ? Should I, or can I, cut out the new shoots and repot those and leave the main stem, or leave them alone? The pot is really getting full and overcrowded. How do I propegate those new shoots, when, and any recomendations on soil for the new pots ? Thanks so much......jb JB |
