We received 4 Ensete ventricosum 'Hiniba' in the post today, 3 of which are ours. Lucien decided to get them potted up as soon as he could and so this is a guide on how to do it..
Lucien preparing himself and things he needs to pot the 'Hinibas' up.
Lucien first got a good sized pot and filled it a little a mix of compost, perlite and plant food, he then added mycorrhizal fungi on top, so that it touches the roots.
Lucien then took the existing pot away from the 'Hiniba' and teased the roots.
He then placed the 'Hiniba' in the pot and put compost in and around it before pressing the compost down.
Finally, Lucien put the label in and placed the 'Hiniba' outside.
