Default Re: Bananas taken indoor stopped growing

If your indoor temps are below 60 (soil is often cooler than room temp) the bananas will go dormant. When they go dormant, they do not use water, if the soil is moist it will cause the roots to rot. In addition, lower indoor light and shorter days will reduce growth and water use. So, when you bring bananas indoors, you should keep water to a minimum and expect slower growth.
