Move the plant inside or into a temperature controlled greenhouse.

I have my potted plants in a small greenhouse with an electric heat to maintain 60° F at night. I just recovered my greenhouse yesterday and within 30 min after putting the roof on the inside temp was 120° (outside temp was 72° F).

Knowing your location could help; but not much since you state a freeze is in the forecast for your area.

You should introduce your self in the new member forum so we all know your location & growing zone and types of bananas you are growing.

Welcome to the forum.

More than likely you will lose the bloom ....since your grow season is over.

My plants in containers will get late season flowers and I will lose them in December-January.

I have made attempts to grow them out but it only prolongs the inevitable .
