Re: Should My banana trees go inside? What type of growlight will I need ?
@Kanana thank you! Yes that was all from a month. They were not pups from that plant, however; they were just tiny plants from my friend that I stuck in there. They were from a huge grove and were tall/skinny so I cut them off before transplanting to speed things up. They are returning to their natural sizes, so I am sure yours are fine as well! Mine are all going in the ground this spring and I may keep 1 in the house just for fun.
Unless you care about massive sized plants to start with, you do not need grow lights. I simply did this because it's too sad seeing mine all chopped down to the ground this winter so I wanted a few in the house that were still green! This was just for fun. But if you're attempting to maximize their initial planting sizes for spring, I would suggest getting proper grow lights!
Mine do not produce fruit, so this was not taken into account either. You should post pictures of yours!
@bushwack nice nanas! Those should be OK in those pots as long as you fertilize correctly when they need it. I have observed nanas grow better indoors in smaller containers because you can water them without the fear of overwatering; small pot = excellent drainage. Thanks for the photos! Good luck!
