Keep it humid! The reptile tank should work fine, but since I know you mostly have leopard geckos, I just wanted to make sure you had enough humidity in there for a Musa. If you have an undertank heater you can put a layer of gravel in the tank and add water, placing the Musa in a pot on top. You can also try an aquarium water heater in a large jar of water placed inside the tank. Or, you can just mist a lot. Whatever you do, I hope it makes it. I'll be curious to see what the plant is like after a summer of growth and a winter outside.
