Re: growing under lights
All sounds very logic Pauly,
Most bananas, especially young ones grow in the undergrowth beneath the canopy of the forest, getting mostly inderect light.
Only when they reach maturity they receive the direct sunlight and the red light, and this falls together with the flowering stage of the plant.
Especially forest species like itinerans would benefit from non-direct sunlight when young, and direct sunlight when mature I think.
Thinking of it, it might be a whole different story when you look at Ensete species, growing naturally in more open landscape from what I know.
Maybe they do like more direct sunlight than most Musa species?
Kind regards,
Remko.
