Let me say that your bananas add a NICE tropical effect to your garden.
It's just me or there's a Musa Rose in there? I thought it was too tropical to be capable of surviving with such hard treatment.

Banana do require really little water while in low methabolism in a wind-free enviroment. I have been surprised that my banana kept indoor since november, have required just 3 big waterings in 4 months.
But I don't know about light. I wonder if i can keep a nana in complete darkness. I mean, a potted one. I'm experimenting with a plant in my cellar pretty much like the bigdog method, but this is soilless, so i don't think it really counts. The lack of soil pretty much forces the banana into sleep from starving. So the lack of light isn't noticed. I wonder what kind of effect it can be experienced on a potted plant.
