Having heard `If you plant a pineapple crown, it will produce fruit', we planted one three years ago. The leaves have grown gradually but looked dead as their tips were brown. Nevertheless, it is now forming a pineapple!! The fruit is small, a size of my fist at the moment , however, we are very excited about a prospect of 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free'.
花?10か月前 flower? 10 months ago |
6か月前 6 months ago |
そんな矢先に鉢植えのバナナに花らしきものが!バナナももしかして期待できる?バナナは一度実がなると親株は死んでしまい、茎の周りに生えてくる新芽で増えるようです。一般的なバナナは種がないので。
On top of that, we found our potted banana plant is forming a huge flower. We don't want to be too optimistic but we may even get bananas! It is said that a banana plant dies after bearing fruits and a new generation grows from the shoots around the parent plant. Normally, bananas have no seed and multiply that way.
The potted tropical plants are in our conservatory now for the winter but were left outside in summer. They grow very slowly but steadily.
