Default Re: Growing indoor bananas in Winter

John,
Sounds like you are just as crazy as I am about plants. It was 22 degrees here last night, coldest night this fall/winter so far. My windmill palms are still doing well outside, I have them covered with umbrella greenhouses. I have 45 watt flood lights and heat cables wraped around the trucks. Last night I put blankets over them and it stayed 38 degrees inside. I open it up in the morning if its going to be a sunny day.

I am growing the following plants either in my greenhouse or in my basement in addtion to bananas: Crotons, cacti, succulents, Ti Plants, sago palms, zz plants, philoderons, snake plants, begonias (in my greenhouse), pygamy date palms, lipstick palms, lady palms, needle palms (seedlings), pindo palm (seedlings), cardboard palm (seedlings), washingtonia robusta, washingtonia filifera, tach takil.

I would be interested in trading plants if you are interested. I am interested in the Ginger (do you have any extra plants)?
