Default Re: Here's what happens if you don't remove pups

Although I have no experience or desire to grow bananas in a colder climate, I'm still curious if the process can be improved or even if the growing period could be expanded.

During the cooler months what is the first trigger for a plant to slow growth, plant temperature above the ground or below?

I've read many times how people here add a heating pad under a pot to promote root growth.

This leads me to believe that a container of wet partially composted organic matter can easily be dried and have air introduced to increase the temperature of the roots through an aerobic process.
