Default Re: Musa Sikkimensis not happy in hot temps?

I live in the northeastern corner of Oklahoma and its always extremely humid here, even in drought years, kinda miserable actually lol. Its always greener here than out west, and there are lots of fern species and wild terrestrial orchids that grow round here. It does get hot though, usually about 100F during this time of the year. I have one Red Tiger, and two plain green that have red backs on the leaves. The red tiger has so much color on the leaf backs that it looks like a Zebrina. If they take the heat there, then its probably more confirmation that they dont like something in my soil that has a PH of about 5.5. I think I am going to dig them up, put them in pots for the winter, and next year replace my soil where they were growing.
