Ha! I'm already coveting a Dwarf Red.

Glad to hear those yellow leaves are no concern. I wondered if it had been too long in the box. Hopefully it colors up soon; I like the green, but there's plenty of green around. End of summer would be nice. I'm looking forward to having some tropical color around over the winter.

That's where mine came from, too. I got it on amazon.com from Hirts Nursery, who in turn got it from agristarts.

February! Wow. Glad there's other south-facing window bananas out there, too.

Now that it's had its initial soaking, I'll be checking at least an inch and probably two down in the soil to see if it needs water. If there's one thing I've learned in the last six months, it's not to overwater - the succulents on my desk are much happier now that I have it down. No watering on a schedule; check them, and NO sitting in drainage water!

Thanks!
