How come one of mine keeps growing small leaves. Last year they were double the size. I had it in the green house over winter with temps most the time between 60-70 f. Loads of leafs grew in there at the normal size. Am I doing something wrong or did I do something wrong over winter. This year I wil...

I was thinking of possible ways for people who don't have large greenhouses to get Ensete growing again in spring after dry storing them. This year I'm going to be able to put mine up against a bedroom window which gets a good amount of sun, but next year if it manages ...

I am really struggling to locate Ensete Maurelli this year so have been searching for how to culture them and came across this thread on a banana forum. Has anyone on here tried this?......it looks risky but amazing results it it works. icon_thumleft ...

Hell I thought I killed Dave's plant I bought (seedling) I had it in a pot but then changed my mind and put it in the lawn. Its leaves started going drooped and brown so I had to take it out and repot it again. It was in the ground about two weeks before I panicked. It seemed to sulk worse by the da...

I hope the colour can be made out on these pics, but I planted this out on Sunday, and after 4 back to back days of clear skies and hotness it looks to be turning silver? icon_scratch Watered loads everynight Some kind of leaf scorch due to winter inside? http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/pault...

... day (fair amount of Perlite in the mix), so that is the most urgent. But I would also appreciate suggestions for the Brugs, Musa sikkimensis and Ensete maurelii and Ensete montbeliardii please.

I have just planted 2 Musa Basjoo and an Ensete out in the garden, their roots had all filled out 4 litre pots. I am wondering when I should start using fertalizer? I have a high nitrogen fertalizer (36-0-12) when should I start using it on the ...

Anybody know if B&Q have any Ensete in stock? last year I seem to remember they had some decent size ones for £10.

I got a smallest ensete to plant out into the ground is now ok time to plant out.

There is slight chance of frost today in midlands but after that it does look ok 5-6 min temps at night

Does it need any special soil .?

... do with a guide today 'cos I am making an excursion to the nursery and it will be my chance to pick one up if needed. The question is, will this Ensete still reach a good size once planted out .... as it is so small now? It was around 6-7 feet last year, but almost lost it through the winter. ...

... place I think so I am moving it in here - hope that's OK? In the autumn I dug up from the garden 2 x 5 foot tall Musa basjoo and 1 x 1 foot tall Ensete maurelli and potted them up to bring indoors to keep them growing over the winter. The Musa normally stay outside but I was moving them anyway ...
