Re: My first Banana plant!!!
this is my first banana plant, musa icecream. It has been in the garage growing on a heat pad set at 75 degrees. Currently it is in a 18" pot under a light for 8 hrs a day. I only water when the moisture meter gets to low on the green side and only from the bottom. It varies how often depending on the weather outside. fertilize only once a month. I was wondering if I need to change what I'm doing for the upcoming months now that we are in November. I live in a zone 9a but it has been known to get in the low 20's last year at night with 50 to 60 during the day. I want to plant it outside in the spring. Any advise for a first timer?

I would suggest you put the light on for 12 hours a day. Alternatively, you can cut all leaves except for top layer and store in a dark dry cool place, but if it is young I would not do this. How many micromoles is the light and how high is it from the pot? how tall is the specimen? Welcome to the tropical Kingdom!  |

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
The light is 6500 and I have been adjusting the light as it grows, up and down as a new leaf springs up and then unfolds.

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
Luisport,
Which of the pawpaws and magos do you recommend? I have being wanting to plant a couple and a mango but I have not had the chance to look for them. I got some guava plants but always looking to add to the collection. |

Re: My first Banana plant!!!
If you live on 9a it's better than mine, you shouldn't have problems. Regarding Pawpaw you can choose one auto-fertile like sunflower and another very good like halvin, Wabash, Susquehanna, Shenandoah, mango, etc... there are a lot of very good ones.
Regarding mangos you have some more dwarf and others that grow more like valencia pride, and here we have palmer that is dwarf. But there are very good ones.
