is this the same plant as Ensete Tandarra Red?? I have one and I must admit that it looks exactly like Ensete Maurelli to me, but I do love it! Its a quick grower and really can handle a lot of neglect! I plan on planting it in the ground next spring so it can really take off. They are beautiful plants!
I wouldnt feed them during the winter indoors or encourage too much growth at all. The less indoor growth, the less problems in my book! I plan on soaking my Tandarra Red and then letting it dry out before watering it again, so maybe a soaking once every week? And I wont fertilize it until spring when it goes back out for the year
Good lucK!
