Can anyone tell me if these are the ice cream banana plants for sure? I'd really like to know what I have as this is going to live indoors half of it's life. I don't want to spend time with this little project if it's going to end up a 9 foot plant that I can't keep inside.

Great Post..

Truly tiny to Ice cream which plant is it ???.. Your post is somewhat confusing.....

Here are some Truly's in Feb 2016 this year......still look pretty good for being inside for 5 months.

I have found the plant pretty robust in cool weather....however it will show its displeasure by loosing the oldest leaves as winter progresses.

But that is how they roll in my house.

Plant is prolific pupper with minimal needs and a good foliage performer.

Small plants like your are easy to overwater .......keep them on the dry side with as much light as possible.


Use an inexpensive daylight clf for the winter light source or what your budget will allow.
Your plants are small and the requirements will be the same....but next year?
You could do it for 15-25 dollars US.
Google dyi grow lights for bananas for ideas.

Your plants will get bigger next year.
Plants shown are Bordelon in the rear TT in center with Little prince on the sides....plants are mature
