Is this true for all bananas? When you say 'below 60', do you mean the night temperature, or the max. day temp.? If the nights get cool, but the days are warm, do they still grow? I have a Dwarf Orinoco in a pot inside that is growing great, but normally, when it gets really cold out, the low temps in that room can get to 10 C (50F), but the day temps are in the mid 20's C (75F). Will I need to watch the watering?
Sorry for hijacking this thread, swatikrish, but I had this question also. Btw, what's SDC and SDS?
