Default Re: Overwintering Ensete

Florescent grow lights cost pennies a day to run if you go to HD the Selle them for 30bucks thats the fixture plus 2 bulbs make sure you get wide spectrum they come with chains to hang thats more then enough light to get any banana throw the winter and low and behold they will even grow quite fast in that. I just put the potted bananas in the house if you have smaller bananas that helps but you could cut the P stem to make them more house friendly and that way they don't have to go dormant for the winter you get fruit faster!
