Musella lasiocarpa - Set of 4

Musella Lasiocarpa or Golden Lotus Banana is a relative of the 'normal' banana plant. The plant originates from the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, where it grows at an altitude of 2500 meters. This banana is characterized by its gray-green leaves, with red veins. It remains smaller than the original Musa Basjoo. This banana also forms side shoots. After 3 to 4 years, the plant can flower. First, the leaves become smaller and smaller, and eventually a golden flower develops. More and more petals open to form the flower. The special thing about this flower is that it remains beautiful for up to six months. After flowering, the plant dies, but the many side shoots continue to grow and form new plants.

Care
The best place for the Musella is a sunny warm spot in moist soil with good drainage. The plant also grows well in a pot. Water regularly in the summer. The Musella can withstand frost, but not in a humid climate in the winter. Protect the Musella well overwinter or keep it as a tub plant. This species does well outdoors from April to November. Overwintering is best done in a cool and dry place. All bananas like a lot of water and fertilizer and a sunny location in the spring and in the winter the plant is in a dormant period and has little to no water.

Format
The plants have a height of 25-40cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 9cm.
