I have many varieties of houseplants, and want a banana that won't get over 2-3 feet at the most. I like the idea of a Truly Tiny, but are they difficult? I don't care about fruiting--just want an attractive dwarf banana. Which is easier to grow and keep happy indoors in your opinion? SCD or Truly Tiny? Thanks so much!

Neither will be happy indoors but both will grow slowly.

I have an SDC and its getting fairly big for a house plant. If you don't want fruit, I'd say the truly tiny would be a more manageable plant indoors.

If it won't be happy indoors, I don't think I'll get one after all. I don't want to buy a plant unless I can give it the conditions it wants. Also, I read that some people are allergic to bananas when they handle them. I can't eat them anymore, as I'm allergic, so maybe the chances would be high of me being allergic just by handling them, so, to sum this up, I guess its no banana for me! Thanks for the info.
