Re: Making My Own Insecticide with Canola Oil and Dawn Dish Soap

I wouldn't mess with mine either. I have noticed some evidence of bugs snacking on some of the leaves. The young Raja puri has some little bits of silk on the cigar leaf and perhaps on other parts....

Re: Making My Own Insecticide with Canola Oil and Dawn Dish Soap

What if I just use 1tsp in a 25oz spray bottle?
Or even less like 1/8 tsp.

Re: Keeping Out Squirrels!

Yep Peoria is about 45-60 minutes away. I like our summers. I like winter with snow for a couple weeks, then I'm ready for it to be 85-95 degrees Fahrenheit ha.

Re: Keeping Out Squirrels!

I just heard that sprinkling cayenne pepper will repel the squirrels; I think I'll just sprinkle a bit around my banana and other plants.

Keeping Out Squirrels!

When bringing it in during the winter, can a Raja puri handle less light compared to Cavendish?

Re: Any Downsides to Raja Puri?

Planted it about 4 days ago; the plant hasn't produced any new growth yet. I'll have to post some pics when the plant gets bigger to confirm whether it's Raja puri or not. I would hope the site I...

Re: Too much soap?

So the soap can sometimes cause the outer part of the p-stem to separate?
I noticed some more damage to the leaves. Does it take few days to be rid of the spidermites?
