Re: Good banana plant to have indoor during winter
Most of them should. Depends on climate indoors.

Re: Good banana plant to have indoor during winter
You probably want to stick with the shorter varieties.Ice Cream gets pretty tall

Re: Good banana plant to have indoor during winter
They are all quite small pups, so size is not an issue.
Indoor climate is normal 72-74 degrees. I will have some in a more dormant stage in the garage but it would be nice to grow some indoors over winter. Last edited by nph : 09-30-2011 at 09:07 PM. |

Re: Good banana plant to have indoor during winter
As per my opinion the Dwarf Cavendish will be the best one. One of my friend had grown the Dwarf Cavendish through the year and it was giving him very good results.
