I keep mine in about a 3 gallon pot and it is outside getting about half a day of sun. It has never bloomed. Good luck with yours!

Hey Bananaman!!!!! I did not realize you had one of these!!! Is it as easy to care for as a regular psitticorum with the exception of amount of sun to expose it to??? If you have any small divisions you are willing to part with and would like to work up a trade or sell a piece, YOU HAVE MY EMAIL!!!! Would love to get my hands on one of these!!!
IAN, I love the plant, even though it is not a musa!!! Hey, if it is a variegated variety of psitticorum, that is easier to handle in the winter than any of my bananas, anyway!!! Take good care of it and keep us updated to its progress!!!
