My leaves are so big and heavy that they bend at there stem Jul 26, 2005 05:56 PM

Allison Since you live in Florida I am assuming you don't have to bring your plant in for the winter? Is your banana tree inside or outside? If you can keep it outside year round have you thought about putting in the ground, assuming you live in a house and not an apartment. I had 2 big ones outside last year and they were beautiful but I had to chop them down to bring them inside, I could only image what they would look like if they could stay outside year round. As for separating babies, I read in one of these other posted messages that this one person took a shovel between the main stalk and the baby, I would think that it is the same way you separate lily plants but I have never had those, leaving the baby in the dirt for at least another 2 weeks to promote it's root base separately, then removed it. It also stated that is should be be planted within the next day or two. I am, by no means, an expert on the subject, just trying to find out info myself.

This is the oldest plant that I have, it produced 4 babies last year. It is outside and gets about 60% full sun during the day. It is up against the back wall of the house but the leaves are growing parallel with the house therefore they can't open and sorta let the side of the house support them. I have a another one planted in basically the same type of environment in a spot on the other side of my patio and it's leaves are not as big and the plant seems to be supporting it. I just noticed today, that there is another new leaf just poking it's head out, I will try your splinting suggestion. I was thinking that maybe because it is an older plant with a much bigger stalk base that the more layers it produces the leaves get incrementally bigger, just a thought. Only my 2nd year of having them and I will never live without one again.

The last 2 leaves that have unfolded are so large and heavy that they break at their stem. They stay attached to the plant but will never stand up again. Any suggestion as to how to hold them up, not that much I could filnd was tall enough, like a circular tomato stake or something similar. It would have to acutally hold the leaf up, not but supporting at the stem base. Help me, a new one has not popped out yet. The plant is not really all that tall yet, last year I did not have this problem. |
