brought the plants in today...
here is my musella lasiocarpa before going in...
it did not do so well over the winter last year and it looked similar last fall

here it is mid january...... should bounce back come spring

here is my biggest cavendish(i think) headed down the stairs

this is what the base looks like on that plant...
might not be as big around as last year this time

i trimmed it and kept it upright this year
not much more room to grow though

few more plants.. ladyfinger in the centre

here is the base of JP's mini mystery nanner after heavily removing pups

this one is tangent

only problem is i dont have my lights set up yet!

got the lights set up 2.5 days later

almost all the leaves fell off my plumeria but the bananas seem happy enough

started with the spraying of water on the plants and i think they like it
i also got some sprayngrow and used that once so far

here is the biggest plant hitting the ceiling

and here it is a couple days after getting cut shorter

ok so last year i got those free plants discarded by the marina nearby
well today i spoke with the owner of the plants
he had taken 6 pups inside already and said i was welcome to take the rest

and here they are indoors with the others

the others:

some new pics with the lights out so the colour looks more natural.. just after being sprayed down with water

little update.. its december

when they went inside:

and now:

my largest plant was hitting the ceiling when i brought it inside
the leaf that came out next had to be cut back repeatedly as it emerged
what was left of it was only about 8" of leaf
the plant slowed right down and older growth died back
as it died back i peeled them down to avoid rot and this reduced the pstem height a bit
the next leaf had to be cut back to help it emerge
but only once and now that is the biggest leaf in the room

from the largest to now the smallest plant, JP's mystery nanner

JP's mystery banana again
one pstem lost some height the other stayed tall... they used to be identical

all the leaves showing grew over the winter because in the fall all the leaves were cut in half

pretty slow rate of new leaves though

should be soon enough that i start bringing them outside

started bringing them outside a bit at a time so they could hang out under the cedar tree and get used to the sun

ok now those ones are in the sun and the remainder were brought upstairs and under the cedar tree
