Temperaturewise, when to move banana plants outdoors?
Raja Puri, Calif. Gold. Zip 90290, zone 9b.
1. I have two banana plants indoors in 15 gal containers. What is the minimum night temperature I should wait for before moving them outside. Since this is S. Calif (up in a cold canyon), the day temperatures will probably be warm enough (70-80F) when the night temperatures are right.
2. If I want to plant one of these banana plants in the ground, what soil temperature should I wait for before planting. I've had healthy bananas die after putting them outside and in the soil. They seem to get root rot easily, so I'd like to know the minimum soil temperature to prevent this.
