As the other comment said, green and color guard Yuccas are the same plant, just with and without variegation. Variegation is a forced genetic mutation and is often not passed on in offshoots or rhizome divisions which have the "healthy" chromosomes, but only in stem or leaf cuttings with mutated chromosomes. My guess is that the first two are growing from the remaining stem and are basically still the original variegated plant, and the green one appears to be an offshoot.

Looks like 7a or 7b depending on where you are. The cage method would probably work best. You might try wrapping one outside the cage at some point and see what kind of results you get.

Hi, I watched a few videos and I think they mean the whole leaf. (Single leaf cutting, not cutting the leaf into pieces.) << I would think that leaf cuttings: meaning leaf pieces would just turn to mush.. However, it appears to me that stem cuttings work the best! I dont want to risk even attempting to do a single leaf cutting. Your plants seem to do quite well, and so do mine using the stem cutting method! ❤❤❤❤
@vibonitatropics3 күн бұрын
I've gotten it to work with other types of begonias in dirt. You might be right in that I'm cutting pieces too small and more of a leaf would give better results. Stems with a node has been the easiest for me. I'm about a 95% success rate just sticking them in dirt.

Hello, watching the wintering video. I hope you can help me establish which plant I have. Is it possible to send you a picture? Also, how large of a root system do they have? Do the roots go deep or are they a root system that goes out and more on the top of the ground? Asking because we have a well and septic system. Also, my plant is potted. How do I winterize this if it a plant I can keep outdoors? The pot enough or still put things in and around the pot? I would place it out of direct weather by placing it under our patio against the wall, but making sure to winterize it properly. I may blow up your phone with questions for a while. Lol. Thank you!
@vibonitatropics8 күн бұрын
You can send photos to the channel email or on Instagram. I'll try to help but understand there are so many varieties of bananas that it can be hard to tell from a photo or two. The roots are substantial and strong. I would not plant bananas next to a septic or drain field. How cold does it get where you are? Bananas in pots are less hardy. You'll need to either put them in a micro climate that stays warmer or add additional protection around the pot depending on your temps.

It's likely a basjoo given the size and your location but can be hard to tell even from pics. You can still put it in the ground if you like. You'll need to provide some additional protection to keep it alive over winter.

@vibonitatropics24 күн бұрын
Extra light will help, but might not make a material difference depending on other conditions. Personally I don't give plants extra light when they're indoors for the winter. Grown inside, the leaves will be weak in comparison to it being outdoors. It's not a problem as long as the plant stays indoors, but expect the leaves to suffer when you move them back outside. It's not a big deal other than the plants will look rough until a few new leaves pop out. On the pups, I've seen it after 6 months and I've seen it take 2 years. Continue to treat the plant well to improve your chances of it happening sooner rather than later.

Hi there! Thank you for this helpful video. I’m moving to a townhome with a small yard in September. I’ve always dreamed of having a small section of my yard with a garden bed to grow musa basjoo. Right now the entire yard is just laid in with sod with a concrete pad. I’m hoping to put in a small garden bed by my back fence but that could take sometime to get installed. Very excited nonetheless though. I only have experience growing musa in pots and none with ground planting. It worries me that you mention that the roots could find a way into my neighbours yard if I don’t keep it under control. Is it quite easy to keep them contained? Or would it be better to keep them in a raised garden bed with a defined bottom to limit them reaching beyond my property? Greatly appreciate your help and time. I live just north of you on Vancouver Island so my climate is nearly identical to yours in Seattle. Thank you!
@vibonitatropicsАй бұрын
I would be careful about putting them directly in the ground near a fence or neighbor. I have seen them pop up as far as 2 feet away from the main plants - about 60cm away. Having them raised will help - mine are raised and it helps you keep an eye on them. I've grown them in pots and they do ok, but will not get nearly as big.
@rileyw7162Ай бұрын
@@vibonitatropics thank you for your insight here. Does your raised bed have a bottom or are they bottomless so the roots can go deeper into the ground? My knowledge with raised garden beds is very limited as I have never had my own greenspace before.

@vibonitatropicsАй бұрын
Burning from the sun or fertilizer? They should adapt to full sun. You might see issues if you had them indoors and recently moved them outside, but they should be fine in full sun. If you're seeing leaf damage, it's more likely not enough or too much water. They'll take a ton of water (mine get watered every day) but can't tolerate standing water. I've not had issues of root burn with the fertilizer. Use it to the instructions and you'll be fine.

It depends on the condition of the corm, just under the soil. I would leave it alone at this point and just wait and see. If the corm is all the way rotten, it's not going to grow back. If there's even a piece of "good" corm left, it will grow back.

The second summer, they got to about 8 feet tall. The third summer they got to "full size" for me in my spot is about 16 feet tall.
