Keep the little ones warm and water them just the same as you would a banana of that size, in other words be a little skimpy with the water. As they grow, increase the water and fertilizer and pot size until they are so big you have to put them outside. at 4-6 inches tall, don't go over a 4" pot or you'll overwater and root rot them.
