High color mini seems a little more susceptible to cold and overwatering than some other species I've tried.
So if you keep it cold, keep it running on the dry side.
And watch for spider mites if the humidity is low. It seems that a little higher humidity and drier roots would be ideal.
I seem to be testing the limits of several varieties of banana since Indiana has such a long winter, and it costs so much to heat a greenhouse here.
Bordelon is a great winter keeper in cool, long winters.
