Its a cold and rainy day here in the DC burbs, I know winter is coming and I have work to do soon!
I have a large banana plant in a big pot ... Its not the Muso Blue Ice Cream I was promised, but its been fun.
(Pay no attention to the thick batch of Purplehearts growing in the pot with them!)
Its grown too tall to bring it inside for winter - so ...
I know I'll have to cut it down and save the corm (?)
But I would like to pare off the pups and put them in pots as houseplants to overwinter them.
Do you cut them off like trimming down daylilly bulb clusters?
One pup is thin and scrawny, the other has a solid stalk and big leave like the original.
Why the diff? And should I save both in pots for next summer?
(Got 2 super-dwarf cavendish already in pots for moving indoors by a big sunny window)
