Default Re: My first Banana plant!!!

this is my first banana plant, musa icecream. It has been in the garage growing on a heat pad set at 75 degrees. Currently it is in a 18" pot under a light for 8 hrs a day. I only water when the moisture meter gets to low on the green side and only from the bottom. It varies how often depending on the weather outside. fertilize only once a month. I was wondering if I need to change what I'm doing for the upcoming months now that we are in November. I live in a zone 9a but it has been known to get in the low 20's last year at night with 50 to 60 during the day. I want to plant it outside in the spring. Any advise for a first timer?
