Well Steve in France, there was actually no "hint" of that. I believe in giving the source for plants that do well, and also for ones that don't do well. The price is irrelevant. The one that is doing really really well was $10 and came from Bob Smoley here in Florida. Lots of folks don't like Bob Smoley (he sells succulents, epiphyllums, hoyas and lots of other stuff) but I have the opportunity to buy from him in person a few times a year at Festival sales and his stuff is really top notch. It seems to be his mail order stuff that people complain about, but that's not any problem for me. I recommend him highly. Others think he is the spawn of the devil.
I have purchased several plants from Brian's Botanicals in the past and most have done extremely well for me, but this banana is a flop. I think its just a weak plant.
And please, don't keep telling me to dig it up and move it. That's not an option, and your advice is simplistic when you have no idea of the intensively planted growing space requirements I have to deal with. Giving it 2 FEET of space
was a real sacrifice in the first place. You don't need to repeat it again. I saw it the first time you wrote it, and ignored it then, so why say it again?
You obviously believe you have read something into my post that isn't actually there. Common fallacy of the internet.
