Old hand at container gardening, still fairly new to naners so I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks. |
Welcome to the forums...
Praying hands is an awesome plant which I do not grow yet.
You are going to need a container in the 45 gal and up size for that size plant to possibly thrive and produce fruit.
My plants that flower are 24 gallon and up containers; due to my short 170 day-+ grow season that is all I get is a flower and a few inedible bananas...this is a win for me.
In central Florida there a number of growers that have a similiar zone and they have no problems that I know of......But I do not know what they do when it gets in the teens and they are in the ground.
Here is photo of the possible sizes you will need......
