In an attempt to get my plants bigger in stead of trying to overwinter them as small plants, I keep them frost free in a greenhouse in winter for some years. As you can see from the comparison to the first picture things have grown quite a bit,...
Especially the Ensete's are doing really well, can't really lift my ventricosum anymore with the leafs on, let alone fit it in the greenhouse.
ensetes overwinter at 12 deg C, Musa's at 5 deg C (except tropical ones, they get 12 as well)
