Hello! I finally signed up after a few years of growing bananas in pots in Nebraska. At this point, I have 3 plants, and have lost track of specifically what each plant is. Started with 5 but that was a bit much for me (for the room I had, and moving in and out of the house for winter), so I downsized. I also downsized pot sizes to make moving easier. I don't work too hard at maintaining them, yet they seem to survive despite me It sure is nice to look at banana plants in the house when there is snow on the ground outside!

Here are a couple of pics: the five I had a few years ago, and the three I have kept. I thought one was basjoo, but all 3 plants are about the same size so I wonder??? They have pups so maybe I will divide some up, but it's been real hot so I don't have much motivation for it

Welcome!

They look good! Can’t really tell but they don’t really look like basjoo. Can’t tell for sure though

Here are a couple more pics of the plant to the left. The stems on the pups have a bit of a reddish hue to them I think. The plant got some rot in it a year or two ago when I left it outside too long in the fall, so I cut that back, cut out the rot, and dried it out...and then it came back (for now).
