Hammer when overwintering your bananas do you slow down on the watering very much?winter seems like a dificult time for me when it comes to watering.
Yes put very little water on them in the winter and i use perlite and peatmoss in in my soil last winter i put 2 cups of water every 2 weeks per plant.

There is only a handfull of pepole who grow bananas around here and the others think im strange when my dwarf cavendish bloomed all of them had to stop and see. there is a guy who lives down the road he gets orinicos every year they do him the same way.
