Default Re: Baby Musa Basjoos Arrived Today – Now What?

Just dont expose them to full sun too quickly, gradually get them used to it for a week or so, moving in brighter light over time, if you have pets I would put wooden dowel rods like you get in the crafts department around them as they are small, and this keeps animals from laying on them, dogs love to lay in freshly dug earth. All bananas grow faster and larger in the ground compared to containers, plant them pretty soon though so they get an established root system that can withstand the cold this coming winter, that's the secret to getting tropicals to survive, early establishment when danger of frost has passed. I usually plant small TC starter plants in 7 inch pots and grow for a few weeks, just because its easier to water, and protect them while they are smaller.
