Default Re: I got my AeAe!

My AeAe survived the winter fine. It is in a three gallon pot so I brought it inside when the temperature at night dropped into the 30's. It unfortunately had something dropped on it by my gardner's. I'm not sure how it is going to do. The top was smashed and it bent over. Some of the roots appear damaged. Needless to say I am not happy.

If it survives my plan is to plant it into the ground very soon and let it acclimate and grow in it's new spot. This winter when temps drop into the 30's I will cover it. I'm going to make sure I keep the roots dry all winter. I will put plastic around it when it rains if I have too. I will give it all the attention it need until I get a pup off it. After that I will treat it like my other bananas during winter and see how it does. These plants are too expensive to let die!
