Hi!
I am Francesco, from South Italy.
Before all I ask you to forgive my bad english, but my mother tongue is Italian..then I have to make a hard work to explain myself.
It is long time I visit your wonderful forum, full of enthusiastic, competent, wishful people and an infinity of interesting and useful information.
Until now I only absorbed from all you your passion for banana plants, but some days ago I dediced to buy some varieties of banana rizomes:
- Misi Luki,
- Belle
And some others coming from Tissue Culture seedlings (about 20 cm tall):
- Double Mahoi,
- Brazilian,
- 'San Moreno',
- Mona Lisa (FHIA 2)
I would like to ask you some advice and opinion:
1) What do you think about such var?
2) Since I left them resting for 2 days in a semi-shaded place (becouse they were coming from a long duration shipment of 8 days...), now I placed them inside a little greenhouse, with a heating that start when min temp are low than 14 °C, and facing some direct sunlight. Do you think is a good hardening...or I have to shade more and fix an higher temperature?
3) other advices for planting them next week (soil preparation, optimal temperature, etc.)
Thank you all.
Francesco
