Indoor growing in Phoenix
Hello Everyone,
I stumbled onto this site today and have found a wealth of information. Thank you all. I have been indoor and outdoor gardening most of my life, including time in Alaska. I am a complete newb though to the world of growing bananas. I have a Gros Michael going, along with a new Cavendish. The Cavendish just arrived, and is in rough shape. We shall see. Any tips for me with growing these indoors?

Fertilizers
Banana fuel 15-5-30
