As you can see by the number of posts I have, I havent been to active on this fourm but Ive been growing bananas for a while now. A few things Ive learned are that most love sun, so when the last frost of the year has passed and spring comes it will be very happy outside but keep it in the shade for the first few weeks (ive burnt alot of bananas bu keeping them in full sun too soon after going outside). They also like water when outside, but when inside like to be treated like other house plants with waterings only when dry. Try to keep it away from a heater or drafts and get some nice potting soil and a mice sized pot. They usually wont grow too fast when indoors, but sky rocket once they go outside. They do best when they are planted in the ground but its probably easier for you to keep it in a nice sized pot.

Most banana plants are very very sensitive to freezing weather but they can come back up if the duration was short or if the banana was cold tolerant (like a musa basjoo, but thats a different story).

Good luck!
