Default Re: Growing indoor bananas in Winter

I do almost exactly the same as Jeremy, with my cold sensitive bananas and other tropical plants, (basjoos are still outside, because they're still growing) except for the fertilizer. Everything comes in together, and what can fit goes in two large bay windows, and the rest goes in the warm cellar under lights. Everything is mixed together, (bananas, schefleras, mandevillas, ixoras, anthuriums, orchids, gingers, etc., etc.) so everything gets treated equally; Watered about once a week, fertilized every few weeks. Everything keeps growing all winter. I've been doing it like this for years.
