howdy,
anyone growing any hydro banana plants? and if so, any advice on how to successfully transplant small banana plants from soil to hydro. i recent tried growing an ice cream banana plant in hydro with no success. initially i put in way too much nutrient and gave him real bad burn. then he stopped growing after about a month. he was basically droopy the whole time i had him in the hydro unit. a couple days ago i took him out and the roots looked brown and dead. i am guessing he got rot root so, i put him back into soil. i am gonna try again. any tips? i will keep an update on my progress. thanks.
