Congrats on the babies! I haven't attempted growing nanas from seed yet so this was another great thread to subscribe to for me. I just read up on Ensete Ventricosum. They are nice! Can't wait for pictures!

When they are this large what do you keep them in to keep the humidity up?

Pauly, you can send her mine. I probably won't have a place until next year where I can plant much anyway. Plus I get to see yours if I need a fix.

well if you cant isolate them in a moist space i would put them on a tray with a layer of pebbles and put water in the tray not so much as the pots are touching the water this will create a micro climate around the pots raising the humidity quite a bit misting helps them to they can take some fairly low humidity if you are keeping them properly watered try the pebbles i think it works pretty good clean the tray ones in a wail it gets nasty fast in hot weather incidentally this works for any plants you have that like moisture
