I recently set up a small and cheap greenhouse for my youngest plants. It's about 5' X 5', and is constructed of some kind of transparent vinyl material.

I thought putting my banana-plants in here would be great, but the opposite is true: Bananas in the greenhouse grow poorly, some are even yellowing, and generally don't show much vigour. Plants outside grow much better and look much better too. I don't think it's too hot, I keep the door open all day. They also get watered often.

The only thing I can think of is lack of air-movement? Does anyone else have any experiences with makng an ideal environment for bananas in greenhouses?
