Oh, since this is really a "tips" thread, here's mine.
Bananas actually like it to be warm, moist and sunny. If everything in the first sentence is happening, then they like a lot of fertilizer too. They don't really care if they're in Indiana, or India if the above is true all year.
If you change anything in that sentence, then the other things need to change too. For example, if it's cooler, then the moist and fertilizer part has to decrease, even if it's fairly sunny. If it's not sunny, then the moist and fertilizer part has to decrease. If it's cool, and not sunny, then the moisture and fertilizer has to be decreased dramatically, because you took away two things they need to grow and be happy.
