Default Re: Indoor fruiting 'Raja Puri'

It usually takes longer, but is otherwise rather easy if you have the right variety. When I grew all of my plants in Colorado indoors, I had 6 different bananas fruit inside in containers. For a plant that normally takes about 1 year to fruit in the ground, indoors in a container can take 2-4 years. Since indoor conditions are generally warm enough, and putting in a big container is easy, the most speed-limiting factor is the amount of light. More light is always better, less light will slow the plants down significantly, though they may get just as large in the end.
I think I am going to tell my cousin about that. He seemed interested about bananas when he came out to visit. He lives in Indiana and it gets super cold there. If he just grew it inside he wouldn't have to move it inside for the winter.
