Hi,
I just bought a Musella lasiocarpa as a medium sized plant (probably another year or 2 until it flowers) and I just want to make sure that it has the right care.
Its winter now so I will be keeping it indoors until spring. Should I let it continue growing, or cut all the leaves and let the roots establish themselves first.
Also has anyone had luck overwintering these outside in my zone? It would be planted this spring in my best microclimate, but I havent even tried a Musa Basjoo in the ground (I bought one on ebay about 2 years ago and it died only about 3 weeks later). I dont mind giving it is nesecary protection, and already have some palm trees in the ground.
Sorry if these questions have already be asked, but I didnt see them all when I did a search.
Thanks in advance!
