Good question!
Kind of.
I have grown basjoo and sikkimensis at times over the years, but I haven't played with tender bananas until recently. Mostly I was just wondering if the 50F rule I tend to apply to other tender/heat loving plants also applied to bananas like the one above, or if I should be waiting for higher nighttime temps.
I know its not going to kill it to be out overnight now, but not really sure if it will stall it. Maybe makes more sense to keep it inside above 60F overnight until outside temps catch up, even though it is in a pot and not in the ground? Or, from an end of season, total growth perspective, would I be better off putting it in the ground (I could of course cover it overnight and gain a few degrees) at 50F overnight rather than leaving it in a pot at warmer temps?
I do realize there isn't likely a pat answer to this, but I truly value the experience, opinions and perspectives of all the forum members so any input is greatly appreciated
