I've never had much success with growing these from seed. Getting them to germinate has been tricky enough but getting them through the winter even more difficult. I managed to get about 20 seedlings this year but am already down to 10 and they aren't looking too bright. Have brought them indoors wi...

So the ensetes have been drained upside down and are now in the boiler house in a bucket drying off a little http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p645/blackfence777/20131122_184405_zpsd7c47af2.jpg http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p645/blackfence777/20131122_1843521_zps565c8a4a.jpg ...

Bottom pic is Hiniba right? http://www.hardytropicals.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=54705&t=1 http://www.hardytropicals.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=54704&t=1 Love the height of the hiniba leaves, they seem super long VS the Maurelli, giving a more stout "trunk". the effect ...

Ensete Hiniba has never been a mass produced plant, apart from Koba Koba's first introduction, and the recent pups sold by SteveW, so there are not many out there to start with, but the main question is how many people still have one ?

Here is mine

Why ..., why..? It s a desease? Anyone got this marks? Please , someone advise me what to do? Should I cut all the leaves and prepare it for dry storage already? I can go on and on.. with the questions, but don t want to become anoyng. I love this plant is kind of my exotic child, raised from seed i...

Like some advice when the Ensete needs to be taken indoors, all 3 of mine are small 3ft plants in pots. I have stored them in my bathroom in previous years which kept them growing, but this is not an option this year (wife). I have also ...

This is the August 2013 story of my Ensete ventri01 plant bought in 2008. It does not grow particularly large which makes it easier to overwinter and has had it's ups and downs over the years, but August 2013 was it's biggest challenge by far. ...

I got my new Ensete Montbelliardi sadly not the one i ordered but it will have to do as the 3Ltr ones are now sold out of. So looks like i will be starting from scratch again with a 1 Ltr. I wish i have Dave Browns garden it would ...

I ve just check my planted ensetes ventricosum and notice one that looked like this IMG_2692.jpg IMG_2693.jpg there are a lot of undeveloped leaves crowded in there. Can something be done to save it, or why it does this? icon_scratch It brother is just fine growing normal two metres away IMG_2725.jpg

I had a small Ensete overwintered in a 2 litre pot, which although late was doing quite well, however, like many plants it was overcome by the explosion in the slug population all hunting for succulent new shoots :roll: The slugs ...

Just had to drown and move it, its almost keeling over, I did put it in the hottest place.

Is it too hot at the minute?
Do I keep it in the shade?

It was in full sun and its in a pot.

Thanks!
