I felt your anticipation with dividing the pups 😂
yes... it was really fun to divide these - and they did really well. I hope to get some new plants from that same tree this spring so stay tuned for more videos!
Yes I did to. I got sick to my stomach. Shew. I'm glad that worked out well. I would have been just as scared. I have a brown thumb but wish so much it was green. I killed my banana plant when I didn't change pots and it outgrew it and died. 😢 I'm researching the truly tiny now because I live in KY and it has to be in a pot. Have you gotten any bananas from them yet?
I brought my banana plants indoor because the temperature dropped to below freezing point. Hopefully I can enjoy the fruiting very soon .
I hope so too! I have yet to get fruit from my Cavendish or Truly Tiny Banana trees. Both plants are in my dome greenhouse all year round. In the summer they love the extreme heat. Please keep me posted.
Wow I love your dome and your beautiful and healthy banana as well as the other plants you have there.
Thank you for commenting new friend. Please keep me up to date on your banana plants. I hope to connect with you again soon. Bren
Truly tiny is a variation of the dwarf cavendish and a cousin to the super dwarf cavendish. All of the when young can have red in the leaves early to middle of the year, truly tiny usually keeps it while the others usually lose there red each year as they grow
Thanks for the info! I think my leaf color might be off because of the defused sunlight it gets being in the greenhouse.
So true, the dwarf Cavendish has red stripes in the leaves, too. And they turn green as they get older
@@BrenHaashey how did it turn out I bought one and it did the same thing and now I have more popping up and they don’t have the red it’s the only banana plant I have and I don’t have it in a green house
Thank you for sharing ! I recently got my first indoor dwarf cavendish banana and its full of pups! I have been looking online for some info about propagating , and this was the best video, and absolutely lovely dome green house! :)
Glad I could help! I want to try wintering over one of these in my house next winter just to see how easy it is. Thank you for letting me know my video on dividing was useful.
My dwarf Cavendish has the red spots in the leaves also.
They love lots of sun and water with regular feeding during the growing months.
The pups are too cute 🌱
Browning on the cavendish is a result of overwatering, the tree is taking in a lot of water at once and the cell blocks burst and get damaged, resulting in brown spots. You may have to space out your watering.
Thanks for sharing this. Mine are doing great so far this summer with low water and lots of heat in the dome greenhouse.
I like bananas, I'll try to plant bananas in pots tomorrow. thank you for sharing knowledge.
I’ve not harvest any fruit yet.. it’s been 2 years!
@@BrenHaas No problem, friend. The tutorial you shared, is very helpful.
My dwarf Cavendish have red on them as well
Hello from Australia 🙋♀Thanks so much for your Video. I just bought a "Truly Tiny" Tree and you've given me a bit more knowledge and confidence about them, so thanks again mate ♥
Thanks for sharing with me! Good luck with your banana trees. I have 2 new ones that are doing amazing this year in the dome greenhouse. I might try bringing one in the house. STAY TUNED!
@@BrenHaas sounds great. I will thank you 👍here in Queensland Australia is the banana state
@@samanthaferguson5157 how did your dwarf cavendish go? Fellow Aussie here, but down south in NSW. I've got the Dwarf Nathan Cavendish from Daley's Fruit Nursery and so far it's going great guns. I hope to do a video soon on my channel.
@@mogsta Hello 🙋♀️ It's going really well. It started off around 15cm tall, now it's about 1 ft, in 3 months
Pretty sure the Truly Tiny is just smaller variety of Cavendish. I believe that's why your Cavendish looks like the Truly Tiny. They are both Musa varieties.
Love this video! I live in NW Ohio too! (Waterville)
I’m looking to do something similar, so I’ve subscribed and now am looking at your play list to see updates on these bananas.😊
I just added a few new plants to my dome greenhouse. The original ones I have died this past winter / spring. I believe I over watered again!
No fruit ever grew on the 2 varieties I had but that is ok because they were beautiful plants and fun to grow.
Thanks for subscribing to my channel. I will try and give an update to you as soon as possible. I did just finish putting my 2 dwarf cavandish banana trees in a new spot this year. STAY TUNED!
Hi, all those you show are Dwarf Cavendish. They get about 8 feet.
My collection has yet to get that tall. Last year they were only about 3 feet tall in containers.
Banana plant looks beautiful am trying to grow super dwarf Cavendish banana plant in the uk, iv already split my pups on my mother plant, now iv got another pop up recently but growing very fast👍
Mine are multiplying too... crazy fast!
How to make it growing fast ? And what kinda Fertilizer ? I live in Kansas we can get cold weather so I just startt a small pops a friend give it to me so far there s 3 small leaves so how to grow faster ?
@@erlindajohnson3011 put it under cool light indoors plus use a fertilizer that's has more potassium in it banana loves potassium 👍
@@erlindajohnson3011 The plant really enjoys heat and filtered sun conditions in my Ohio garden. It does well in the humidity of summer. Mine is planted in a potting soil that has fertilizer in it for the next 6 months. After that time I will most likely repot and either water with the fish water or use a potting soil with fertilizer in it. I hope this helps.
@@shamsgardeningcrafts thank you for sharing this!
How often do you feed them? What do you use for feeding? I just brought a dwarf cavendish banana plant. I am trying to learn whatever I can about taking care of my plant. This is my first one.
Feed them once a week with miracle grow.
I feed my banana tree plants in containers with fish water from my pond and also a basic plant food.
I’d love a dome for my garden
I hope to get a new video up to show what I've got growing on in there this time of year as we get ready for winter. Right now, super busy processing food (canning) so I will get some new content up as soon as I can.
Hello Bren!
I live Northeast Ohio. I bought 3 Dwarf Musa Cavendish's in April. I gave 1 to my mom, she left it in the pot & it continued to grow with the red in the leaves.
I planted the other 2 in my garden. When I dug them out in the fall to winterize them they had grown over 4' tall & lost all the red coloring in the leaves!!?? That is why I bought them in the 1st place!
Do you know if they'll get red leaves again next year when I put them back in the ground?
After doing some research on the Dwarf Musa Cavendish - it appears they are suppose to lose their red / purplish spots on the leaves with age. Chances are, your plant will not get those color tones back again as they age. Maybe that is why mine changed as well!
Thanks for leaving a comment - let me know if you find anything new ab out this plant.
My dwarf cavendish have red leaves and when they grow out they turn almost solid green.
Interesting... I really think it has something to do with the soil and the heat it experiences. What do you think?
@@BrenHaas i think you are probably right especially the heat since they are tropical, my poor banana is going thru the outside to the inside syndrome so hopefully it will bounce back. my plant right now is about two years old but doesnt keep too many leaves maybe 4 at a time and than it will drop a coupe and gain new ones.
I grew the dwarf cavendish in the ground and it got to about 5ft tall.
wow... that is really awesome. I would love to hear more about that plant. Mine are struggling this time of year after winter temperatures in the dome at about 45*F. The plant will start showing new growth in a week or so because we are having amazing sunshine weather and the dome warms up to about 75*F . Thanks for sharing with me.
Do you have a video about your dome? I have a huge property and would love to do something similar. My sister gave me a baby banana and I don't feel it's doing so well. It hasn't been consistently hot yet where I am close to Michigan. I'm hoping it is OK.
The plant loves the humidity in my dome. I have a playlist with videos from my dome if that is what you are asking :ua-cam.com/play/PLSRhw3pVWhxnBWZMuJAClFaKaNMVwvJvI.html
As far as making a dome we use basically things you can find at lumber store. It’s a 20 foot geodesic dome. I’ve not made a video on how to build it.
great!
I've got a about 8 containers of banana trees now! It is addictive.
😁
@@emilvaldivia I am going to end up giving some away. If I can only get them to produce banana.
@@BrenHaas if only i live closer to your place i would gladly ask some from you.. im planing to buy some seeds for my mom and my uncle. 😊
@@emilvaldivia I would share... they are super easy to grow and then transplant the new babies they produce. You can get the seed at rareseed.com
I have a dwarf banana plant, I'd say it's musa acuminata variety. When should I remove the pups? How tall should I let them grow before removal? What's the most amount of pups that I should leave attached?
Congrats of the pups! I found that the pups do not disturb the large banana plant in any way. Personally, I would leave them together unless you want to get rid of the plant. Best Wishes!
I have almost the exact banana plant but mine is huge. I'm not sure which one I have. I wish I could send you a screenshot but it doesn't seem like I can.
Stop by my website blog and send me a message with link to your image of the tree online. If that doesn't work leave me a comment and I'll get you my email so you can show me screen grab. There are many different types of banana trees.
Hello, my leafs on my dwarf cavendish are turning yellow:( and feels like they are getting thinner. Any recommendations? I did purchase a pH reader and soil moisture reader. The soil is very alkaline based on what I read that it should be around 6.5 5.5.
The banana trees like a soil similar to what it would be like in Hawaii - lava rock is a great addition. Be sure the soil drains well! Keep me posted on how yours are doing. You did the right thing getting the soil tested. The ph is best at 5.6-7 according to the extension office.
Needs fertilizer pH 6-6 1/2
Potassium
@Bren_Haas May I ask if you know if we can make them live in the ground in Connecticut? I can't find anything on it.
I believe these are only HARDY in tropical areas. These plants do not like to go past 40*F or they will die. I winter mine in a dome greenhouse in Ohio.
@@BrenHaas May I ask if you use heat with that?
I meant to ask if it can be left out in zone 6. I believe it war purchased from Lowes, or from Home Depot, the one I have like that. I'm thinking to bring one in just in case.
Quick question, I wanted to buy a sun lamp for the winter months. As its very cloudy with literally no sun in the British winter. What is your best suggestion to provide it with artificial please?
Hey Kasilika - there are many LED lights out on the market today for growers. I would recommend doing some small scale growing with lights to see what works for you before investing too much money. The technology is constantly changing. I have learned alot from these LED / Hydroponic set up kits I get on Amazon. My latest FAVORITE because the lights are amazing is the IDOO set at: amzn.to/3zrsHMH - I love that set up so much I bought one for all my brothers family to start growing their own indoors. The lights are amazing in these kits. I hope this helps you. Ask me anything on my website brenhaas.com/connect
@@BrenHaas amazing reccomendation and advice. I'm on the case with the artificial lighting!!! I may even get a small tan whilst doing indoor gardening 🤣
@@kasiika5182 good one about getting a tan. My latest video I have a nice glow on for December in Ohio. ( ua-cam.com/video/CWGT2dLezTg/v-deo.html ) I'll be sure to get a video up with my new indoor LED set up. I am working on it this week.
🤣@@kasiika5182
Can you post an update of these banana plants?
I have a new video clip in the dome at: ua-cam.com/video/LeJumNUzw6g/v-deo.html but I don't mention the banana trees. They are growing just fine so far this winter. I have a truly tiny that is tucked back in the north side of the dome and the dwarf cavendish has 2 little babies popping up from the mother plant that stands about 2 1/2 feet tall right now. I will try and do a video just about that plant for you.
I have 4 Cavendish banana tree and they have red in the leaf
thank you for sharing this with me. I appreciate your comments.
Honey you got a steal lol I just bought one today just ONE for $14!! I feel like I was robbed lol I almost bought 2 tho lol. And when you ripped that plant apart I felt scared for you lol I do the same thing don't we all lol. Don't panic lol thanks for sharing!
thanks for stopping by and commenting on my video Jessica - appreciate your feedback. I hope my banana trees start doing something... SLOW START this year in the dome. I'll keep you posted with hopes you stop back and keep me posted!
I'm in Australia, I just bought a Truly Tiny.... I think it is, because it has the red in the centre of the Leaves and mine is only about 30cm tall and I paid $25 for it. But I love, love Plants, and I live in Queensland so we get pretty humid here.
Wow does
it comes as a bub
I have some new growth coming from the base of the old root of the plant. Both my plants died all the way back this year.
Have you gotten any bananas yet
Where did you buy your bananas?
I bought them at rareseeds.com a few years ago. This year my bananas are struggling. They were neat when they were small (under 2 feet).
@@BrenHaas Thank you. They are out of stock now.
I found some banana trees locally. IF you are near NW Ohio - check out LOCH greenhouse near the Toledo Airport. That grower has tons of them.
I live in the toledo area and have been wanting to grow banana but am scared they will all die
You can bring the plant indoors and treat it like a houseplant during the winter months. The 2 varieties I grow will not survive our winters in Ohio outdoors.
@@BrenHaas thats why i grow mine in pots too. I could get a basjoo, but not looking for one of those atm. (I grow things over in kcmo)
my banana trees are doing great in the dome greenhouse. I need to add another video with update on how they are doing in extreme heat.
@@BrenHaas i have had to move mine. Too much sun with the heat.
@@seiyuokamihimura5082 ahhh.... mine gets a filtered sun in the greenhouse dome. I hope to make a video to show you soon.
Why red on the leaves?
I believe the red is a cavendish Banana variety. Thanks for asking...
Have you got any bananas yet?
I have yet to get a banana!
Does it produce banana
no bananas on my plants and it has been 4 years! I love how they look and grow - it is a beautiful plant. I hope you grow one.
