It is said that (
however it STRONGLY varies with different cultivars) when the nanas are exposed to these temperatures for
longer time, they start...:
individual down limit < TEMP < 10°C (50°F) => bananas stop growing
10°C (50°F) < TEMP < 16°C (61°F) => bananas slow their growth significantly
16°C (61°F) < TEMP < 34°C (93°F) => optimal banana temps, bananas grow continuously and healthily
TEMP > 34°C (93°F) => bananas stop growing again
Optimal shooting temps:
26 - 28°C (79 - 83°F), optimal flowering and fruit ripening temps:
29 - 31°C (84 - 88°F)
I hope this answers your questions.
