Re: Musa Little Prince
Definately a cav of sorts. It is the standard 'multiple names' to sell more plants Looks like a nice nana though

Its a hybrid, and a very small one, patented in the US.

Re: Musa Little Prince
Oh, if patented it can't be just another name then. Maybe one for me to look out for as I lost ALL my Super Dwarf Cavs last winter and springmusa_monkey wrote:Its a hybrid, and a very small one, patented in the US.

Re: Musa Little Prince
A couple of months on from when i obtained this little musa and i have to say i am very impressed with it as a houseplant.
It was in amongst several lasciocarpa's for a while all of which suffered Red Spider Mite
but for some reason they left this one alone?
Its already pushing out no less than four pups, here's a new picture.
