almost done!

So this is going to be one of the last Nanners posts. I am currently swamped down with homework and reaching finals time. Next week in fact is final time. lots to do! Nanners is still the same. i am still a little worried but i was reading up about the Musa Banana plant, which Nanners is, and it says it is the hardiest of the banana plants. This makes me happy a lot. however, hardiest of the banana plants still could mean that they all are hard to take care of and they all die easily in foreign weather. Whatever. It is still alive now and im sure it will continue to be alive. I was kind of hoping to bring Nanners home since i am going home for a week after this semester. then i could have my mom raise it for a while...however there are going to be 4 or 5 people with their stuff on a small Toyota Camry for ~24 hours straight so i dont think we want Nanners with us as well...we will see. if i dont give nanners to my roomate like i said before i might just take it to colorado to the ranch with me. that might be interesting.

eureka

So i think that Nanners is struggling a bit. It is still alive, so technically it is ok and i still will get the extra credit. besides, i only have less than 2 weeks of the semester and i know Nanners will last that long. I have a theory that Nanners is struggling becuase of the weather. in the winter we kept the apartment hot with the heater. now that it is a little nicer out we have not had the heat on and we have had the windows and doors open more. Nanners is in the living room with all the open window and doors. it is actually colder now with the chill spring air for nanners than it was in the winter with the heat. soon i hope it will be warm enough for Nanners to feel better. this is my thought of nanners sadness.

dead

dont worry everybody, Nanners is not dead, she is definatly alive and kicking.....however.... i think Lello is dead. Lello is all shriveled up and brown completely. nothing is really left.

Services will be held for Lello on Sunday March 28th at 7pm in the rexburg stake center next to the temple. veiwing will be from 4-7.

less leaves?

i dont know if it is just me, but im pretty sure that the new coils/leaves in the middle that come up now come up slower. It may just be because i am used to it now so it does not fascinate me as much, but i swear it is growing slower. it only has 4 leaves right now. i dont know what is going on. i would think that with the warmer weather now that it would strat to grow faster. i dont know. no matter what though i still love Nanners!

Progress

So i think Nanners is amazing! She just keeps on growing! once again a new leaf is growing and almost out. Nanners has grown, tall wise, only a little so far, however i think overall this musa banana plant just does that such thing. it just grows slow. this means that my plant is all healthy and green and good and stuffs. i just cant wait it produces fruit. this wont be for a while but the day it happens it will be amazzzing!

BFF's

so me and Nanners (and Baby!) are like BFF's! we do everything together! just check out this rad photo!

Soil

The soil in Nanner's pot looks a little weird. It has like a white crust film like thing on the top of the soil. It looks odd. I sometimes want to change the soil and put new soil in the pot. However i don't know if and how that would affect the plant. I have a hunch that the white stuff is from the miracle grow. It may just be some of the minerals in the blue water that never seeped into the soil. I dont really know, that is just my guess. I will figure it out later and keep watching it.

Lello?!?

So i see that little lello is struggling. its leaves are all icky and shrivily and falling off. I cant tell if it is because it is going through the normal banana plant leave shedding or it is just dieing. it could possibly be that it is just shedding and that it just looks like it is dieing because it is so small. when the leaves die, the majority of the plant, it looks like it is the whole plant. happily, i do notive a new leaf in the middle of lello comeing up. it looks like a little spear.

Potassium

So when i first purchased the plant i had mentioned that i thought that Nanners was potassium deficient. For a while she looked great, and i give the credit to the special blue water (miracle grow). Now however, i noticed a little bit of brown spots on the plant again. I wonder if this is from when i didn't use the spesh. blue water. I hope it goes away and it is healthy again soon since i am using the blue water again.

Same as always

So i have noticed that my plants are obviously gowing. They are always getting new leaves, so they must be growing. However, i dont see much overall growth of Nanners. I see Lello growing cause she is so small and i notice it, but it is harder with Nanners. I noticed that the leaves of Nanners always grows to about the same size (aprox one ft long) as well. Weird, but i guess thats normal since thats what normal trees do too.
