General Discussions. » Brown Leaves Today @ 12:22 PM (Total replies: 3)

hi,

i have exactly the same problem.

i have two musa basjoos and 2 ensette maurellii. i repotted them last week and gave them some potash to boost the potassium content in the pot. both ensettes and one basjoo are doing great. i have to move them around a lot to keep them in the sun in my small yard (in the uk), but one of the basjoos is getting very brown around tne edges of the leaves, which are wilting. to make things worse, this one had a tiny pup which has lost it's leaves. :-(

the soil has stayed moist since i re-potted, as it's been a bit rainy.

should i re-pot the poorly basjoo, it may have been overpotted? or is it too much potash?

Banana Growing tips- How to grow banana. » when to put babies outside? Apr 12, 2008 01:32 PM (Total replies: 1)

hi,

i have 2 musa basjoo and 2 ensete ventricosum. i bought them as plugs. at the moment they are in pots on my windowsill (above a radiator so warm).

i am wondering whether i can put them outside in the day or not. or outside in my mini greenhouse (it gets only late afternoon / evening sun where it is). temperatures get below 10dc at night though. so bring them in when getting dark maybe?

both the basjoos are coming on good - now about 4 inches tall with 4-5 leaves and new growth in the middle. one ensete is a bit smaller and not doing a lot, although there is some new very recent action in the middle finally. the other ensete is a good 7 inches tall now. probably double the size it was a couple of weeks ago.

i suppose to simplify my question, when's safe to put outside in the uk (south)? and which do they prefer mosty at the early stage: light or heat?

thanks
