r/GrowingBananas

I believe I am close to getting a flower in a pot. It is in a 30gallon grow bag under strong grow lights. I keep the room roughly 85 degrees. First picture was the tissue culture I got in June, second pic was August, third was January, and final picture was today. It’s about 4.5” at the base and 42” tall to leaf tip. Canopy has gotten very tight and leafs have slowly decreased in size although nothing has changed. Should be within the next few weeks to couple months if I had to guess. Very exciting!

Does anyone think or know if this a pre flag leaf on my tall Namwah banana tree?

So these banana leaves started protruding from the side of my dwarf cavendish banana plant. I've had several banana trees and never had this issue. Thoughts on how to fix this? Should I just leave it alone to see what happens or should I chop it down to where they're poking out? It's currently indoors (still below 50 at night) and in an east-facing window. Currently watering once every 2 weeks since the room has higher humidity (running several humidifiers). Thank you!

I was originally going to ask for advice on why my plant isn't getting any new leaves, but now I think they are stuck!

I bought this Java Bannana and planted it at the begining of April and only "new" leaf that grew was half out when i bought it. I did some research and found that they should be getting new leaves every 7-14 days. I am keeping it watered and fed, but had not seen growth.

Does this look like the new leaf is being held in and strangled by the previous? And if so what can i do about it?

Never seen a leaf pushing out like this. The tree is about 2 years old now. This would be awesome.

Anyone have a super dwarf cavendish? I’m in zone 6b and have limited space so it seemed like a good choice. Obviously she‘s a baby, so I have no idea what’s going to happen going forward but I’d love to get her to fruit eventually. Has anyone here gotten fruit from a super dwarf? Can I expect the same rapid growth people seem to get with other banana trees?

I bought a house with bananas. I know nothing about growing them. How will I know when the are ripe? Thank you for your help.

I got these pups from my neighbor and stuck them in the ground a few days ago, not sure what they are. My soil looked a little sandy. Haven't given any fertilizer. I noticed some of the leaves drying and dropping. I've watered them everyday. I'm in North Florida Any tips?
