I just received a gran nain banana yesterday in the mail. I ordered it from a company called Green Earth that is in Melbourne Florida. I'm really excited about growing this plant and loving how fast I received it!

I live in zone 6 so I am going to be at the mercy of growing this in a pot. I have it sitting over a vent by a southwest window. I know it will get some sun and warmth. Nothing like the summer humidity it will get this summer but its the best I have for it.

What I am wanting to know is how do I raise this plant until its time to take it outdoors? Around here that usually Mothers day weekend.
So:
How often should I water?
Should I give it fertilizer and what kind?

I haven't watered it yet because the rootball felt moist. I thought about giving it a good drink and not water again for a couple of weeks and then thought I'll ask here. I'll post a picture later today.
