Wow! Thank you! As we have never grown on in pots (basically propagating for planting out), this is a new experience. The few we have tried have been difficult. You mention Ensete from Monrovia. Our Ensete in the ground have been fabulous, but in the pots, 3rd rate - and we thought we had good soils - need to do some testing, maybe not enough nutrients . . . And yes, smaller is better!
If you use drip, how do you control different demands? We have different drips (1/2 gal hr, 1 gal, etc.) but as plants grow they need more, so do you add drippers, let them run longer, or what? Especially as some plants will grow faster than others, so would need to have different "lines" where usage is the same (otherwise one over or under waters), which would mean moving pots all around :-(.
