musella help please

Post by canadianplant » Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:54 am

This plant germinated sometime in august. Its either a musella or musa velutina. Im 90% sure its a musella, based on how the leaves appear....

It was doing good, untill december, when it stopped growing. Thinking it was dormant, i slowed down the water, but never letting the pot become completely dry. It hasnt pushed out any new growth since december, ad now the leaves are starting to streak yellowish. I had something similar happen to one last year, where it went down hill, and never cameback.

It was in a south facing window, so i moved it underneeth my aerogarden lights, where they get 12 -17 hours of light a day. Can you guys tell whats up with it??

Also, some pics of my winer project..... and my amazingly fast growing almond seedling ( 4 more leaves in a week!!!!!!)

nice high tech planting going on there! Not sure about your Musellas.........My bananas in my garage look like crap but hopefully will survive another winter. I recommend you construct a greenhouse outside and heat it to 25C and keep all your plants in there! LOL......If I had a greenhouse I would never be in the house!

-30C..................BRRRRRRRRR! Keep that stuff away!! I just buried a few plants in snow today since I'm worried about a few of them and we are only going to drop to -20C (tropics compared to you!).
