Thanks Benny, nice to hear from you too!
I have been busy all summer...workaholic this year.
I'm so anxious to take a pup and am thinking of taking second biggest one to pot up. If it does'nt make it, I won't feel so bad.
Anyway, the big IC banana is laying on floor in north side of sunroom with small piece of tarp under rootball, & then wrapped in old towel above tarp.
No water on rootball all winter huh?
The smaller IC is dug up & potted up in 5 gal. bucket & will be OK in S room w/ 12 1/2 ft ceiling. It will keep growing slowly
The reason one is smaller is that last winter one was in a smaller pot & that is all. I got them last year June (06) in 2 inch pots at about 2 inches tall. Maybe I'll get 'nanas off both next year!!??
I hope they will be OK in sunroom...the humidity is at about 70*-80* there & hopefully that is not too high for the one laying on floor...it is also cool in there too.
Joe Real always has good advice too! Thanks Benny
