Temperature for new baby bananas
Hello! I just received my order of three bananas and I'm wondering how to acclimate them to our temperatures here.
They are tissue culture plants, 6-12" tall. The instructions said that small banana plants need to stay at >65°. I was not prepared to keep them so warm - right now it's about 48-52° at night and 70+ during the day. The greenhouse/conservatory is a few degrees warmer at night but still too cool. When I lived in Hawaii we had a whole row of Hawaiian apple bananas and at 2000' elevation it was frequently chilly in the winter (high 40's at night). Anyway, they're in the house now reacclimating to light after being shipped but I'm wondering how to proceed. How soon can they handle temp fluctuations, say down to 55°? Thank you! |

Re: Temperature for new baby bananas
I ended up putting them out in the conservatory but bringing them in at night for a few weeks, until it was reliably above 55° at night. They didn't skip a beat.
Now it's starting to cool down in the evenings and I need to consider how we will be heating the conservatory. |

you never did say what kind of bananas you have. baby bananas/ninos? temperature affects different bananas in different ways. like my raja puri, they took temps in the low 20's for 4 nights, nocked them back a bit but they just kept on going. other bananas i have, a few frost and a freeze nock them to the ground.

I was just calling them babies since they're little. Oops, forgot there are actually baby bananas. I have Dwarf Namwah, Goldfinger, and Dwarf Cavendish. |
