New Variegated Banana
I went a little crazy on EBay this past summer and bought a few variegated bananas. One is a sword pup and is starting to grow in my greenhouse. I think this one is a A'e A'e, but I'm not sure.

Re: New Variegated Banana
Thanks, all! I'll definitely keep you updated on their progress. They all look pretty terrible right now. Some are kind of yellow, but I guess as long as they aren't rotting, I won't worry. It does get very hot in the greenhouse during the day, and I am underwatering them for fear of their rotting so that is why I think some of the outer leaves are a bit yellow. Most of them are showing some small signs of growth so that is encouraging.
Randy, all the clothes that I wear are stained and have holes in them! LOL! It was either new clothes or variegated bananas. It was no contest! LOL!   |

Re: New Variegated Banana
Thanks, Steven! You are my variegated plant hero and mentor! You have the most awesome collection of variegates that I've ever seen. I can't thank you enough for sending me your babies. I promise to take good care of them always. I am so glad that we connected over variegated bananas and became friends.
 LOL, Randy! Did you say you had kids? That's probably why you have no variegated bananas! LOL! Thanks so much for the encouragement! Thanks, Mush! Last edited by Clare_CA : 01-17-2010 at 06:00 PM. Reason: sp |

Re: New Variegated Banana
djmb74;
Keep your AeAe on the dry side during this cool winter and give them as much warmth and bright light as possible and then don't worry too much. If it gets cold again, protect them! They do not like the cold. The BIGGEST mistake is keeping them too wet because they WILL rot quicker than any other variety I know! Best of luck! |

Re: New Variegated Banana
ya I didn't water them at all before I put them in the nursery and they have only been lightly watered once since. Most of the leaves have yellowed though and they only have one some 2 green leaves left. I think tomorrow I may put them out in the sun for a week since its warmed up a lot...
Pups seem to be growing just fine though...

Re: New Variegated Banana
Thanks, everyone, for your nice comments.
Martin, varig8 gave me some super advice for keeping mine alive, and I haven't lost one yet. He recommended planting my new arrivals in half well-draining potting soil and half Perlite and cutting off all the leaves except the newest one, which you cut in half and then not watering until you see some sign of growth. He has even had success in planting in all Perlite. I hope yours will be okay. I'm doing my best to ignore mine as they seem to do best without me fussing with them. I'd love to see a picture of yours if you have the time. |

Re: New Variegated Banana
Hi Clare,
I'm also keeping my Ae Ae very, very dry and so far do not have any problems. It has a place at a window facing south-east and is getting morning sun (rarely available these days :-)) When I took it inside at the end of October growth slowed, but the last leaf just emerged a week ago and came very, very quick But this morning the sun was shining and I took a photo: Dont remind me to clean the windows :-) |
