I won't get fruit that way so I noticed people on youtube cutting all the leaves off of the main pseudostem of a Musa Basjoo. The uploader left one emerging leaf at the top. My question is to keep a Rajapuri indoors, do I cut all the leaves off save for the last one at the top that is coming out? Can I keep it in the pot? do I have to store it in a dark place?
Treat it like all your other banana plants......this plant take a beating.
Your method to overwinter depends on the plants size in the fall.
See the link...
The cool part is that your going to have fun
