Which is cool for bananas.

As your days get longer ( by a minute+ a day) your plant will respond in no time.

I had just read in your heliconia thread your lights are on 12 hours a day ... bump to 17 hours or what you can afford.LOL
Mine are in the 18 hour range at the moment for the spring kick.

My toughest time to grow tropicals are in the winter......everything wants to be by the window, or under lights and wants to warm at the same time.
Sounds like my doodle, Beau.

Have fun with your awesome plants.

When do you put them outside....
I never put them outside LOL Even the night temperature in the summer is too low I think
I keep them inside behind glass, facing the South In their unattractive plastic container which my wife really hates. But it works for the
Best. Hopefully, a flowering rostrata, will compensate the looks of these containers LOL

It will look marvelous in the living room while its flowering. Don't know anyone I the Netherlands, with a flowering rostrata in the living room. Only the small red cultivated Jamaican dwarf, which is a Stricta?
