Default Re: Crazy big ensetes

If you have enough light and warmth, I think you could get them even bigger than they are now. If there's not enough light, you could probably hang a t5 light setup on the ceiling to supplement the daylight so that the pseudo-stems stay strong. If you have a scale, you might want to weigh them now, and then again in the spring to see if there is any weight loss.

I do expect mine to weigh in a little bit less when I take them back out of storage, and activate them, but these are from tiny eBay plug plants, so even if they lose 20% in weight, they should still be going into April much stronger than they were this year by next spring.
