Default Re: How to Wake up Bananas from long Winter dormancy.

Hello, great question..I was wondering the same thing when I took mine out. I have kept in spare room growing over winter since I started, but wanted to try due to the low maint and room space. I took mine out of garage and left in a dark..low light room for 24 hrs to gradually raise temp. Some i cut almost all roots off, others just the dark ones i thought would die anyway. I used mostly coarse silica sand..planted, watered and couple started pushing in only 2 to 3 days. I think the key is root, bottom of pot temp..heat mat always helps to really get them going. Worked out good...but Id like to hear how others do it. I fig if they can survive in a 45degree garage..surely I couldnt kill em that fast.
