![]() I think the most to think about is having a pot large enough and that it drains well. Don't over water in the dormant season.

![]() Clay will dry out faster and will require more attention but they look so good ...don't they For me I use plastic landscape containers( not pretty) but they fit into a more decorative pot when need be.. and are interchangeable. Clay is a solid choice for a small plant...what size are your plants 2, 3, gallon size? I have no idea what you have? For the bigger ones....plastic. Please let us know what you have chosen to do.

![]() I, too, will plant Bananas indoors. They are from my plants (pups) outdoors. All of my plants have banana pods but the bananas are very tiny, so I am doing something wrong.
![]() I have a very large clay pot as well as plastic, so I will see which does the best. |
