Plant outside or wait till next year?
Hi I have a Dwarf Cavendish. I bought this plant about 3 weeks ago.
When I got it, she was extremely root bound in her 6 or maybe 8 inch pot (don't remember). I re-potted into about a 5 gallon pot, and growth has been great so far. P-stem height is about 22", I'm putting out a leaf a week and that pace seems to be picking up to about 4-5 days now.
I want to get the most out of this plant, should I plant outside now? I on the edge of zone 6 and 7. So I would have to be digging her back up in about 3 months. I also figure in a few months I am going to be root bound again. I am going to order some smart pots. I figure the 45 gallons, she will also be under grow lights come the colder months. Would I be causing any shock doing another transplant now? plus one more in a few months?
I know this is long sorry. Thanks in advance to the advice!
