I spent most of last summer and autumn dealing with a house clearance, repair, and sale. Finally it was gone on 19th November, and I could start to think about my garden, no sooner had I started to think about getting plants in, and we had the first frost of the year overnight 21st/22nd November, an...

When I Propped my Ensete ventricosum Montbeliardii back in 2015, I cut the stem down, then quartered the rhizome. Very quickly, one section produced a huge pup followsed by many tiny pups. The other 3 sections took longer and only ...

I planted a new Ensete Maurelii a few weeks ago and it has already produced several new leaves. However, the most recent one (which has yet to unfurl) has had much of its top eaten. I cannot see anything in it that might have done ...

I got a lovely Ensete from Wyevale GC today. I paid £9.80 at the till as they were marked up at £14. I seemed to have done well as all the others were marked up at £16 and were slightly smaller. The one I bought was 2-3 feet tall ...

Hi all, Ive be overwintering an ensete maurellii in my conservatory, it has carried on growing slowly pushing out a new leaf every 3 weeks or so all through winter but just over the past week or so it has started to lose its colour from its ...

I brought some ensetes back from work, and I think somebody has watered them. They are only some tiddlers but they are being attacked by what I think are greenfly.
Any ideas what to do, they cant come in the house.

Just been in to my storage room, to give it a clean also to check on a phormium that i am concerned about and noticed that my ensete montbelliardii is now on the move the tightly wrapped roller is now opening up. :D but still to early to water though. :roll: Now way i am risking rotting ...

Hi guys,been out of touch for a while and only just found on jungleplants that they apparently don't sell plants any longer! Does anybody know if anybody else sells montbeliardii? Didn't find the time to source One last year and fear I may have missed my chance

Evening all I went for a greenhouse check, all is well apart from- I think my Ensete Maurelli are a bit too moist- they look like rot could set in. Having got them to nearly Feb I am desperate to keep them alive. I have 7 in 2/3 litre pots, any thoughts on a remedy, ...

I have mentioned before i think that my ensete 'Montbeliardii' grows quite a lot slower than most peoples but i have planted it in the same place for the past two years. This year i am trying it in a new position as i think this is the problem. ...

I initially intended to dry store them over the winter, i know they was to little to dry store but I wanted to make an experiment. Noticing that they started to shrink so fast :><: I have realised that I m forced to abort mission due to the fact that untill spring not much will remain to regrow soo....

My plant has been inside now for two weeks and since then has developed these brown patches on existing leaf and also the roller,it is obviously warmer inside than out, never going below 55 f .Had this happened when outside I would have understood but inside and warmer is a mystery.The maurelli is s...
