Default Re: Bog Gardening for Bananas

You can see it has lost some of its color. It is not in brite light. I am leaving it alone not cutting off old leaves. It stays about 60* F in my basement. I have many plants down there.There is Gambusi ( mosquito fish ) in the water. It seems healthy enough. But I notice there is never a pup on this banana, maybe because it is under stress. I imagine when I put it back outside it will come to life again like it did last summer. I first saw these bananas on a water garden tour in 2007. That is when I started hunting it down. I only paid about $12.00 for it. So it was a steal. This summer I might try to see if I can do this with another banana. But the banana cannot be put deep in the water. Only a couple of inches over the pot. Anyone else wanting to try this?
