Like was already mentioned, unless you have to cut the bunch off, leave it on the plant until you see a banana or two turning yellow. Then cut it off and lay or hang it somewhere - I don't bother to hang it - doesn't seem to make a difference so I just put mine on a piece of cardboard on the porch. BUT BE CAREFUL - the sap from your cuts is sticky and WILL stain clothing (and concrete) badly.

Seņorita will ripen in 45 days on the average. It is called "Quarenta Dias" (forty days) because they can ripen as early as forty days.
