As Yug had stated from our previous conversation, it's all about getting the right environment. Bananas can be very hard plants to kill if they are in a good environment, meaning plenty of warmth, sunlight and water. They are season-less tropical plants, so if you give them the tropics, they will grow.

Based on my experience growing bananas indoors in Colorado for 4 years, and then growing them in the tropics in Hawaii for 4 years, its all about giving them just what they want, the tropics, which can be more difficult to do in non-tropical climates than it seems, even in the summer. In Colorado indoors, even if it was warm enough for them to grow, they were often a lot slower to establish, and really only started growing faster when they were big enough to reach enough sun indoors, and even then they were slower than in Hawaii.

But like any act of horticulture, it is an art, and takes some time to get the hang of. I certainly killed my fair share of new plants before I had enough to experience to get it right, and even now every once in a while it just doesn't go right and I end up losing a plant, but my stats have dramatically improved with time.
