Default Re: Musa Manzano

For plants I have that get too tall for the ceiling, I first try to trim the leaves so they aren't hitting the ceiling, and if the crown it too tall, as much as I hate to do it, I cut the p-stem down, and wait for the new growth which usually doesn't start too much until they are ready to go outside again. In most cases they recover outside quite quickly.

As far as your garage at 45 degrees plus, I wish I had that option, I would put some grow lights out there just to keep them green. But you could also put them into dormancy mode. I have a screenroom on the back of the house that I would love to winterize to keep my plants out there if I could keep it even above 40 degrees.
