Default Re: Small Basjoo plants inside

If they will slide right out of the pot due to being root-bound, then they might need up-potting. If they still have plenty of soil to spare, then it shouldn't be necessary yet.

One thing that I do find important is to give them at least south window facing light, and keeping them warm. If you don't have good light, I think at least a 100watt full spectrum light may be necessary to keep the corms strong as these plants tend to etoliate with indoor conditions.

The ensete maurelii plants that I have kept on my window sills have almost tripled in size in the past 2 months because they are enjoying the south facing windows, but basjoo may have an even higher lighting requirement.
