hye folks, i'm new to this forum and have been growing banas for a couple years now in tropical singapore, when it is summer all year long.
well recently, i've gotenthsi banana, identified as Musa siamensis, from thailand and its been growing to about a foot tall and [producing many suckers, but its not getting much taller... the 'internodal spaces' seem to be all concentrated at a point... and all the plants, including the mother, seems to be synchronised to grow at the same height, they are only 1-2' tall.
i've been feeding my plants a whole lot of bonemeal... any hypothesis on its behavior?
well anyway, here's a pic of a newly planted one at the Singapore Botanic Garden. it is indeed very pretty.
at my place, they are at the bottom right hand corner next to the billbergias...
