Ant farm in my banana pot, worry or not?
It's been dry and warm in Southern California for a couple of weeks. Today I checked on my potted (5 gallon pots) bananas that are outside. A couple were completely dry, so I gave them a good soaking. Out of the Kluai Khai pot came streaming thousands of ants with their eggs and larvae. Apparently, the ant colony was very fond of that pot. Should I be concerned that the ants are up to no good in the pot, or not worry about it? The plant seems OK, not really cranking out growth, but hanging in and slowly putting out leaves, which I figured was about all I could expect from this variety during winter in So Cal.
