Hi!

Three days ago, one of my sikkimensis seeds sprouted.

It's in a mini greenhouse that gets heated during day by the sun, and cools down at night. Sometimes it's up to 40C (104F) in the soil, minimum at 23C (73F).

The problem is this: I'll be away (holidays) for two weeks, starting tomorrow. I wonder if I should transplant it into a pot BEFORE I go or not.

Pros for moving into a pot: I don't know if the sprout can take that high temperatures. The seeds could, but not sure about the sprout.
Contras: I will not be able to give water to it while I'm away, and inside the greenhouse it will stay moist.

Please help fast! I don't want my first banana sprout _ever_ to die... ^.^
