We have eaten a lot of banana before but didn't really know how it is formed.
One morning Mamarazzi noticed a weird shaped leaf. Hmmm.... soooo round eh.
Three days after that can see two "petals" unfolded. Inside each "petal" there is a bunch of babies banana. So cuteeee~!
Each day Mamarazzi peeked. It's been a week and there are around 7 bunches of bananas unfolded. The 8th onwards started to look stunted.
maybe it means that the male flowers is forming. A gardening friend taught Mamarazzi to cut off the "heart" once male flowers appear.
While waiting for the Banana Tree to finish doing strip tease, Mamarazzi is also attempting to make Kombucha. The starter have a strange name called Scoby. Nothing to do with Scooby Doo. Will update you when there is more result.
Now Mamarazzi is busy labelling the plants. We'll be bringing around 100 plants to be adopted.
See you there!
Nice! I love keeping track of 'fruiting' plants too ^.^
ReplyDeleteCurious to see where the heart went!
All the best on the kombucha and the plants exchange!
