Well I went overboard and have about 450 plants from Agri-start. I had hoped to have my wildlife area ready to plant but all the South Texas rain put a damper on my plants.

My greenhouse an hr away has some nice bananas but they've outgrown their small containers ( think 1 gallon).

Ive planted about 35 where i live and look for new spots. THey are being planted only about 2 ft apart - I want a jungle. I will never plant 450 so have started transplanting them into 2-3 gallon containers - hopefully that will keep them ok through the fall or winter. Actually HOW LONG will it be before they become rootbound???

What are the signs on the plant when its become too rootbound?
