Default Re: Indoor fruiting 'Raja Puri'

It usually takes longer, but is otherwise rather easy if you have the right variety. When I grew all of my plants in Colorado indoors, I had 6 different bananas fruit inside in containers. For a plant that normally takes about 1 year to fruit in the ground, indoors in a container can take 2-4 years. Since indoor conditions are generally warm enough, and putting in a big container is easy, the most speed-limiting factor is the amount of light. More light is always better, less light will slow the plants down significantly, though they may get just as large in the end.
