Default tracking the growth of my ensete glaucum
so i had given up on the seeds i was germinating and i guess i used that soil to plant sugar canes.. the animals were messing with the canes so i put gravel over them and one day a banana plant popped up right in the middle of the pot


during its first winter indoors it went dormant
it came out of dormancy nicely in the spring



last summer i separated the banana from the sugar cane




it got a little bigger through the season and i chopped it down before bringing it inside
it bounced back and at first was in the shadow of the dwarf iholena but now is growing over it






this plant could be a beast by the end of the outdoor growing season... i will keep you posted

Is this the one in the 55 gal pot or in the ground. How many years old is it?

check out the progress since just this morning and it is now 5pm
the leaf has changed the direction it is facing and you now see the next leaf coming out as well


i forgot to mention that i transplanted the seedling i suspect is another glaucum into its own pot a week or two ago

So I had to go out and measure mine. About 2 years from seed. Dug and brought in for the winters.
