This was very helpful, Bob. I picked up some fast draining potting soil (for palms and cacti), mixed with perlite, orchid mixture, and MG moisture mix--looked real nice and loose. I mixed in some Oscomote as well.
The plants are resting nicely close to my backfence with plenty of soft bright light.
Question: Should I move them to full sun, or give them a week or two rest period before giving them full sun--early morning thru midafternoon (in Sacramento, the sun is hottest at 4 thru 5 PM).
My very first banana plants! A Kru, an ensete v. and also ensete m.
Now all I have to do is not kill them.
