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!

Thank You for your advice,, As long as I fertilize correctly and when needed ? what would be the best fertilizer for these and how do you know when needed?
they have been getting some black cow .5 .5 .5 as a top dressing, and 13-13-13 with pelleted lime when they were out side about once a month,, have only dressed them with black kow once since moved indoors. I water them about every two - three days, if four days they start drooping
would something else be better? and again,, how often?
Thank You
