Re: Grow tent bananas?
I had been growing my bananas in a tent with LEDs, but they're too large at this point, so I'm just growing them out in the open in my living room.

Re: For a friend
Texas is a big state, so depending on where they live, it might affect their option of cultivar.
Do they want to grow in their garden or in a container, or indoors?

Hmmm OK, I'll leave them be for a little bit more if it isn't terribly harmful for them to start like that. If it doesn't work out I suppose I will just buy another plant since I want to pick up a...

Thanks! So you don't think they're overly restricted in the containers they are in at the moment? When do I know to increase the size?

Do I need bigger pots?
http://i.imgur.com/AyaP6IIh.jpg
Are the pots I've chosen adequate for my plants? How soon will I need to increase in size, and how much bigger should I go?
Also, should I be cutting leaves off?
