COOPER&BURNETT Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 It'll be singing "Chicquita Banana' date='" soon![/quote']Well, don't start singing yet, I don't think it will bear fruit inside without heat lamps and a humidifier. It would need these to bear fruit while inside I'm afraid.I just wanted this for a tropical MIAMI VICE look to my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Is your plant "doped up" with Miracle Grow? That stuff will make anything grow...No, but I am using a fertilizer that is a slow, time release grandular. It can't be that, because it is good for 9 months for a one time application.Nope, this type of plant just grows leaves extremely fast.It's quite cool actually.Anything I can do to turn the place into a MIAMI VICE place makes me happy.

But your plant sure beats them!It IS amazing! That new leaf growth was NOT there last night, it WAS there in the morning! I check it every day and night, so I know. This is so freaky, and amazing. It should, if it's like last time, open up in a few days.This is truly AMAZING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOPER&BURNETT Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 It must be HUGEI may have to put it up stairs if it grows too tall becasue I have vaulted ceilings. Not sure how tall the upstairs ceiling is, but it's something like 20 or 22 feet tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
