No problem! If I get deported after Brexit, I'll pitch my tent in your back garden

 

Brilliant, thank you @noisette47

 

Should add its probably not the best time of the year to be doing this unless you can bring the potted up pup into somewhere warm to grow new roots.

An unheated or even cool greenhouse may not be warm enough at this time of the year.

 

Really strange, but maybe not.
Spent all day cutting back the Ensetes and digging them up.
Then came in and put the TV on, there was old Monty doing exactly the same thing.

 

Fabulous size Pete - I am really envious.

I have taken your advice again and just cut the leaves of mine in half - worked well last year, when they continued to grow very slowly overwinter held at 10C to 12C in my sun room.

 

I have just been digging mine out too they are now in the green house I am leaving the bajoo out for a bit yet but will rap them in a few weeks to protect the steams

 

Did mine a couple of weeks ago, left 2 leaves and a roller, left it tipped over a bucket in the shed for a few days for excess moisture to drain and then popped in a pot with dry compost and back in the shed

 

Hi Guys,last summer i bought another Montbeliardii which had 6 pups attatched by the time i dug it up at the end of the season,i gently prised them away and potted them up with my fingers crossed
Come jan 19th they were all still alive as they were a bit bigger i decided to be daring divided the ones that were still clumped together,now some of the leaves have gone yellow
Will it be because ive disturbed them? They are in new compost and kept on the dry side so i doubt its a deficiency or could it be that im keeping them too dry after seperating them? Thanks x

 

joolz - they look healthy enough. It could be that after separating them, you can't help damaging the roots a bit leaving the plant with too much top growth for the leaves. If so the odd leaf will die back till roots and top growth are in balance again.

Depending on the temperature they may be only growing very slowly now. At 10C mine (maurelii) are just growing but very very slowly

 

Thanks @PeterS Top leaves look fine,i was just worrying incase it spread,would they benefit from me chopping the yellow ones off do you think? x

 

I would say same a Peters they always sulk a little after separating them should pull through

 

I suspect that they will die off naturally - but I like to keep them tidy so would probably cut them off myself. I feel with mine - its a waiting game now, trying to keep them alive till the weather warms and they start to grow naturally.

 

Our heating is on about 8hrs a day cos weve still got old windows so im hoping they will make it,im sure yours will pete your experienced x
I will post later on in the season with progress or lack of any one can but try
Thanks guys xx
