Patty,

I have just recently started growing bananas seriously, before they were a curiousity plant. So I have one of these and one of those. Last season I started taking extra care of them and they have really grew on me, and I am now hooked! So I am asking questions and making my own observations and trying to learn as much as I can. I have sereral tucked away in an upstairs bedroom that I use a spray bottle to water them at least once a week, and there are several in the grow room (converted 2 car garage). It can get cold in the grow room right now. When we hit -4 degrees just a couple of weeks ago it was 32 degrees in there for awhile, I have minimal heat in there right now. I don't seem to get any damage with it that cold and I have plumeria, brugmansia, bamboo, alocasia, water lillies and bananas out there. I had to take the bougainvillea, and the hibiscus inside it was too cold for them. Now the hibiscus is blooming again, and the bougainvillea has all of it's leaves back and is growing new branches. It's amazing how durable some tropicals really are.
