Hello, I'm new to the forums... and new to banana growing. I know that this may be pure folly, but on a whim I bought a few banana plants and have been growing them. One is a Lady Finger and two are dwarf Cavendish. I live in CT (Zone 6a) and I do not have a greenhouse. What I have is a 9.5' ceiling and a wall of windows. I've had the plants for 7 months and so far they're doing great (they've been indoors since September). The Lady Finger is now 4 ft tall (was 12") and the Cavendish are both about 2 ft (were 3").
But I'm wondering if this can last. Is it possible for me to continue to keep them alive and growing (and maybe even produce bananas!) in my dining room in CT in pots? Or are my plants days numbered?
Here's my lovely Lady Finger:

Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
