litle prince and truly tiny

16 years ago

I heard somewhere that these very tiny bananas cannot take as much sun as their bigger breathern and I have noticed that a few of mine are starting to burn. I moved then to a shadier place already, but was wondering about what level of chading should I provide? 30%, maybe 55%? I do have some 55% shade cloth but felt that it might be too much. what do you all think.

Thanks,

John in northern Pa. where it is now warm enough that I feel safe leaving my babies outside.

I keep my truly tiny in mostly shade, but for an hour or two per day it gets sunlight through the canopy above it.
It's doing great and not burning at all. Maybe yours needs more shade.

Here's a pic:

Thanks! I do believe that they are getting too much sun. It is from dawn till around noon or 1pm. It also has been extra hot lately. I will move them to a more shaded place.

Thanks for the pics, they really look happy growing there.

How long have you been growing little prince and truly tiny?
