Default Re: My fingers never plump =(

Sounds like enough water and fert.

That variety (it's regular, or "tall" Brazilian, BTW) is slow to fill fingers. Even in the tropics, that one usually takes 5+ months to ripen. And they do most of their filling towards the end of that period.

But if that plant in the photo flowered in June or July, something is causing it to be unhappy and move really slow. At 2-3 months post blooming, it should have already made many male-only hands, and it hasn't.
