Too many Banana pups

4 responses

JohnMc1 says... Remove all but one or two pups. Pick the one's to keep that have long spear like leaves. Being in a pot, I'd be going for a weekly liquid feed that has Potash like Thrive for flowers and fruit. Powerfeed for fruit would be another good fertilizer and water them every day when they get going.

Tim B-S starts with ... Hi guy's, i have a dwarf cavendish banana in a pot, it's about 2m tall and has just thrown up 7 separate pup's. Really would love to get it to fruit, i have only put BnB on it so far, do i need to fertilise with anything else? There is no way 7 pup's will fit in this pot so i will need to cut them out, but don't want to disturb the parent plant? Is 7 pup's unusual?

sternus1 says... bananas need a metric shit tonne of nitrogen every year. Powerfeed or dynamic lifter will do it.	About the Author sternus1 Australia 30th October 2014 8:30am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees
