Garaged Plants first day out this spring
After being in the garage all winter, they finally get to go outside for some fresh air.
On the far left Ensete ventricosum - It looked fantastic until about 3 weeks ago when the leaves just totally withered - maybe got too excited and gave it too much water. Moving to the right - The big pot between the 2 smaller pots is one of my 2 dwarf orinocos (other one still in the garage), and as you can see it's not looking so hot - I think I may have overwatered it too. Hopefully it will come back. The other one (not pictured) is looking quite a bit better, although that is relative of course. And the 2 on either side of the DA are Helen's Hybrids I separated from the main plants outside (still covered) at the end of last season. Not sure what I expected but they wintered in the garage really well. Looking forward to starting another patch with them assuming their outdoor parents fared well.

Re: Garaged Plants first day out this spring
Trying to turbo charge the wake up process with a bit of water/fertilizer (not the plants which may have been over watered of course) sunshine and some extra heat.

Re: Garaged Plants first day out this spring
Hello all...I’m fairly new to growing bananas. I’m in zone 7a . I currently have a few musa bajoo, gold finger, dwarf Cavandish, Siam ruby, and red Abyssinian. I had them under grow lights all winter and lost a few. My question is. Is it safe to bring the trees outside with day high temps between high 50s - 65 and low temps in the mid 40s? Thank you very much

What are the temps in their current situation? I certainly wouldn't keep mine out overnight at 45 at this point, but that is just me. If it is bright and sunny during the day and high 50's or better I would definitely consider it, especially if up against a south facing wall or some similar situation.
