Re: Growing a Super Dwarf Cavendish Indoors
Kevin, I'm betting since you're using a citrus/fruit fertilizer that maybe it's the espoma organic Citrus/ Avocado blend. I've used that one and its great but now tend to favor the regular Espoma tomato fertilizer and have had pretty good success with getting my mature plants to flower this year with it. It has a little better ratio of N-P-K for bananas. Just realize that its a slow release as opposed to chemical ferts and works gradually over time.
Forget the moisture meter! The more inexpensive ones are notoriously unreliable. Just water very well when you do and when the pot dries to about 2" down water it agin very well. I use my finger if in doubt. It shouldn't need excessive watering indoors over winter in a pot but if you choose to plant it inground or in a larger container next summer it will require a lot more to keep it healthy and growing well.
