Hi folks,

I really want this plant. However, I would like to put it in a pot and put it in our living room since winter is near. I would like to know if it's ok to put them inside the house as indoor plant then bring it out in spring.

Also, I got a bit confused after reading a thread. Someone said that Ensete ventricosum and Ensete Maurelii are different plants. However, on this link, BBC - Gardening - Plants - Plant Finder - Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii', it says that they're the same. The thread that I red was telling the difference between the two. The former being fewer red stripes and the latter have more reds in them.

So which is true?

Thanks,

Neil
