I got two Gros Michel TC from SDarkman two months ago. They were beautiful plant-lets and have been growing well (outdoors on the warmer days, indoor at night). I moved them from his 4" pots up to 1-gallon cans about 3 weeks ago (probably overdue) and decided to pop one out to check the roots this morning. Well, they were all the way down to the bottom and so widespread that when I tried to put the plant back in the 1-gallon they just wouldn't fit. So I moved it and his brother up to 5-gallon cans. They look a little dwarfed by the containers now but I assume they will fill out fast. (I put their picture in the gallery but have no idea how to link to it) They are now too big to fit anyplace indoors so they'll begin overnighting outside. It is still going down to the low 50s some nights, days mostly in the 70s. At what point should I be thinking about putting them in the ground? These are my first bananas so I am totally clueless. Thanks.
