dwarf cavendish
California Gold
Gran Nain
Dwarf Green
Truly Tiny
Little prince
Dwarf Orinoco

Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Show us photos.....we love photos..

Especially of your light setup.

So.

Your new banana plants should do well ...

Nanners and Cush share the same growing conditions..

Your bananas will outgrow your ceilings in a short time and your lights will need to be at 11 feet-+... far above the optimum intensity for the proper growth of your other plants

With the plants you mentioned(when mature) expect to use up to 500-+ft of additional lighted grow area for your project.

Each plant might have a 10- sq ft. foot print

That is why folks do not grow bananas in the upstairs closet

But the weed.......smaller footprint more ROI
