I planted them in a large pot and keep them indoors during winter. The plant is strong and doing really well under a grow light. It's been fun to grow something so different.
I started these in my greenhouse and they add so much color and energy. Even without fruit yet, the leaves are stunning and lush. Definitely recommend for a decorative edible garden.
I'm in Florida and these seeds did great here. The plants love the heat and rain, and they’re now pushing out their fifth leaf. Hoping for bananas in the next year or two!
Took a while to germinate—be patient and use warmth and humidity. Once they sprouted, though, they took off. They make excellent decorative plants and add a tropical feel to the yard.
I live in a colder climate, so I grew mine in containers indoors. The leaves are huge and beautiful, even without fruit yet. Just having a living banana plant in the house is a win for me.
