Little prince and Truly Tiny are both not what many people think of when they think 'bananas". That is, they are not massive and majestic plants. But I do enjoy them. I have one of the hydro systems you mentioned (I think the farm one) and it works well. I grew a dwarf banana in it a few years back, and would like to do so again, but I now have very limited space so I am trying the super dwarf types.

What do you think would be the best way to over winter a hydroponicly grown banana? Should I drain the system totally and let it stay dry and cool? Dark or light? This is the problem I had before, I couldn't get the plants to survive the winter, they all would rot on me.

With TT and LP I can treat them more like houseplants in my limited space.
