Yahhooooo, I just got my first and likely only Ae Ae in the mail today and will no doubt go through all the previous posts about it I can find this week. My immediate problem is where to keep it for the winter. All my other bananas are in my north facing uninsulated glass front porch which I've converted to a greenhouse for the winter. It's about 12'x6' growing space with a 400 watt metal halide light with a 6' long light mover so all the plants in the growing area are getting good light. I also put down a layer of foam insulation on the floor and have an indoor rated oil filled elctric heater so I will be able to keep them pretty warm even at night during the coldest part of the winter(will post pics when I find my camera).
Will this be too bright for this plant or should I keep it in the house in a less bright area? Maybe I could keep it off to the side in the porch and maybe use an umbrella or something else to keep it a bit shaded. Any ideas/ thoughts would be appreciated. I really want to baby this thing........Thanks Bob
