Overwintering
Due to the cold climate here, I keep almost all my bananas in pots. In the winter they are inside in front of some windows, with no extra lighting. I try to keep the soil on the dryer side, but there is variation between more wet (the day I water) and sometimes fairly dry. Temperature is generally in the mid- to upper 60s inside.
The problem is that I still lose a substantial number of plants each winter- and because they seem to die slowly, I've been unable to determine whether it is too much or too little water, or light related.
For those of you that are more successful with overwintering, what would you consider the tolerance levels on wet/dry, light, and temperature?
