Getting pups

oxmyx · 11-15-2007, 07:34 AM

Hi I am new to Bananas, Didn't realize how hardy they can be.
Living in zone 6, I want to have a plant as large as possible by the summer next year. I have a pup or two coming from Texas, and wondered if I should grow them now under HID Lights to get them bigger and transplant outside in the spring.

Hey!!!
Congrats on your new pups! What are they? The additional light will help keep them growing.. they probably won't grow as fast unless you keep it pretty hot in there..
