Hi, how long can ensete ventricosum survive without water. I read that they are very drought tolerant. Will they survive 1 to 2 weeks without watering at 86-96F day time temperatures?
Thanks.:2738:

hey boolmir, am no expert by a long shot but, I've been growing one for 3 or four years now. never had a problem with water since i can water when ever i want, city water. i can tell you thought that they hold a ton of water in between the leaves. if you look down from over top of them after it rains and gently pull apart you can see they have quite a reservoir deep down. i know it takes a while for it to get used up
