Re: banana growing in water
Vicki,
Actually, one doesn't need to acclimate the plant to water. I bought a live plant, that had a nice rootball in potting mix. Washed the mix off, cut a large enough hole in the bottom of a 5" net pot to get the roots through and dropped it in a 5-gallon bucket of water so the bottom of the next pot was just above the water line - the roots were in 2-3" of water. It's a DWC hydro system. The entire system sits about 8" under a 125-watt LED panel. It's drinking like a sailor, consuming two quarts of nuits per day. After two days, it has added a new leaf.
