Default Re: Bananas stored dormant in basement dried out

Nate,
I've stored basjoo's over winter with pretty good success. You will get the outter layers turn brown. That's pretty normal since it's no longer photosynthesizing (if you have it in the dark). I've made the biggest mistake by not keeping the soil damp. The plants will die if you let the soild go dry for to long. I water maybe once a month. Just enough to give them a little moisture. I've lost 6ft potted basjjoos (tops cutt off and put in the garage for winter) by not watering them at all.
