I think they make lovely house plants, sure they wount be as nice as they would be outdoors, but thats not to say they wont grow and you wont enjoy them. I flowered 5 different bananas in my house in Colorado. It depends on what variety you are growing, and what you want from the plant, but you can grow dwarf edibles in large containers and get fruit, the ornamental types are fairly easy as well. The most important thing is to make sure they have as much sun as you can give them, and to keep them warm and watered. The potting media should be a light, well draining mix (there are other threads on this subject).

All grown indoors in containers...
