How to care variegated Banana

[@d3vi15h34r7]

Thank you for making this video 💚Hope mine with grow as big as yours. Florida variety also has variegated bananas, the shape is different, has stubby square ends instead of smooth round end like Aeae's.

[@Elvykiung]

Good to know somehow the Florida is cheaper and the fruit don’t have strip ?

[@tfyfonnie]

Thank you for the great info, Elvy! May I know what humidity are you providing? How long does it take for this ae ae to grow from 12 inch to this size?😀

[@paulhorne6701]

I’m also in the PNW Love the Musa ae ae videos I have several Also “Aurea” and “mint” But I want a “Nam Wah” where can I acquire it? You say locally, I’m in Seattle also Thnx P

[@sadcap]

You have such beautiful plants! Thank you for this video, I also live in WA and this is very helpful. :)

8:40 where did you get yours?

[@minanoor4949]

Hello, I bought my musa banana plant from Thailand. When it arrived, it was healthy but as soon as I removed the sphagnum moss and transplanted, all the leaves went down and drooped. The leaves started dying so I cut off all the leaves. What should I do now? Do you think it will live?

[@learningtolaser]

Mine did the same thing. I cut all the leaves and put it in a pot with just the growing tip left out. After a few weeks it started to sprout a new tip. Since it’s winter it takes a little extra time to get established.

[@Elvykiung]

Banana is hard. My experience is limited but I do plant them directly to soil mix when I got it. Keep it humid and warm

[@woowooone]

Hello and thank you for this helpful video! Can you tell me this?i have a 5 inch baby Florida Musa that I just received. I have a heating pad that stays on, as in not on a timer. But it's only got one heat setting, high. I put a hand towel and then a wash cloth over the heating pad and set the plant on top of that. I felt it and it's not hot on the bottom and sides of the pot, but I just warm. Is that good? And if so, how long should I do that? It's not in a greenhouse, just a very sunny warmish room. .

[@hubertmichael9432]

Thanks for your informative video. I am planning to purchase the ae ae banana. Your video was very helpful 🙂

[@thelittlesignpost]

I would like to buy some of these bananas, can you tell me where I might find? I live in Thailand! Is there a website for purchase? Thank you!

[@Elvykiung]

Sorry I don't know where to get it in Thailand. Mine not from Thailand

[@Syborg911]

Hello, great video and beautiful variegated banana plants! Could you pleas tell me where can I obtain one of the withe variegated banana plant? Thank you in advance.

[@SummerisLive]

Hiii! Thanks so much for this video! May i ask where in Indonesia you purchased? I would love to buy this its my dream plant 💛

[@jaga8888]

Hi. Maybe you won't post 1 musa florida rhizome to Hungary?

[@SkyeRiv]

Very good video!!!!😎

[@matiasredin8016]

I hace a plant thats almost identical but the leaf is pointed, any idea which it may be?

[@Elvykiung]

it may be Florida. People told me mine probable a Florida as well. When the mother plant grow pup, they have two different pup and one of it is more pointy. I'm not sure which better

[@netta8107]

Great information about the soils thank you!

[@Elvykiung]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leannegeorge2483]

I read online that these turn back to green if not kept in acidic soil. Do you think that is true? Thank you. Loved the video

[@Elvykiung]

I'm not sure. first time growing banana too :)

[@currlyycarleyy]

Thank you!! I’ve been searching for care tips for this specific species. Mines as tall as yours but it only has 1 leaf since I got it in end of august 😭 Hoping it survives winter. Interested in buying a sucker from you!

[@Elvykiung]

I hope my will grow sucker soon lol. I think it need really a lot of light. I move it indoor now and the plant very not liking it :(

[@currlyycarleyy]

@@Elvykiung if you do grow suckers let me know :) My plant was grown indoor and it did end up dying unfortunately 😔 despite giving it perfect requirements! It just doesn’t do well indoors

[@izzyg3966]

@@currlyycarleyy you writing this makes me not want to buy it. Its my dream plant though. 😔 I know I won't be able to keep it happy indoors in mostly cold Massachusetts. Our summers are short and our spring is very cold. It wouldn't survive outdoors.

[@GilangPangestu]

Thanks this video, it's very informative~ I wanna ask a bit, is there a way to tell whether the leaf browning came from overwatering / too much sunlight?

[@Elvykiung]

If it over water the leaf will turn translucent before brown

[@oliverbrown1804]

i have an aeae now its small though. what light did you give your aeae when it was young and small?

[@Elvykiung]

It’s quite strong. Possibly around 1000 fc. It’s under sunblaster grow light.

[@oliverbrown1804]

@@Elvykiung can you use a soil based potting mix? I heard that you use just perlite and peat moss. e.g. could you use peat soil medium, bard, perlite and coir?

[@Elvykiung]

It’s depends on your location. If you live in hot humid climate outdoors I’ll say yes. 😊

[@jeongeunjohnson6156]

Thanks for the video ! It’s one of my wishlist! How did you reroot them ? :)?

[@Elvykiung]

I was lucky just plant them in soil mix directly

[@funfishingchannel]

Where can I buy Musa Aeae?

[@Elvykiung]

I'm not sure, if you are in USA the best way is to get it from Hawaii or Florida.

[@IslandPipers]

Thanks for the information on this variegated Musa. I just purchased one from Indonesia. Do you think it's safe to assume it will be a 'Ae Ae" Musa?

[@Elvykiung]

No. Only way to be sure if you see the fruit

[@IslandPipers]

@@Elvykiung okay, thank you for your help.

[@machoman7787]

Mam can u tell me the potting mix

[@muhammadkudret3163]

where can i get it ?

[@oliverbrown1804]

This banana plant is definitely Florida. From the leaf shape and colour :)

[@Elvykiung]

thanks! I was told that too. It is so hard to get true aeae T,T

[@DallasRelates]

For your heat Mat what did you have the temperature set at ? And how many hours a day did you keep it on the mat?

[@Elvykiung]

it is 24hrs no temp set

[@backyardtropicals1157]

Difference between AeAe and Florida fruits- AeAe bananas have rounded ends, Florida have pointy ends.....

[@Elvykiung]

yes!!

[@oliverbrown1804]

i don't think that's true. i heard the only difference is in the fruit and red-ish stems. if ur right tho that's good to know

[@Elvykiung]

@@oliverbrown1804 yes the fruit one look pointy one look round. Recently see photo of it on fb. Apparently aeae also taste better 😊

[@oliverbrown1804]

these are so rare in the UK. they go for around £500 here.

[@Elvykiung]

It’s expensive here in USA too lol. It’s around $600-900 here 😂

Bom dia sou louca por esta bananas vc envia sou do RJ quero muito destas

[@pngo2017]

Variegation in plant is a genetic mutation, for better or for worse. I’d be afraid to consume any fruits from a genetically mutated tree... 😳 lol

[@Elvykiung]

Lot of plant has been mutated lol. Like apple the grower keep modifying the genetic of the plants so you will have bigger fruit. Genetic mutation not a disease it still a healthy plant 😊. I have meet a friend who own mother of apple 😊 the fruit is so small but it’s really cool to know the origins of one plant
