New Plant

13 years ago

I have wanted this plant for 3 years but did not want to spend the 50.00 asking price. I was at the nursery this week and the owner knew I had asked him about it before and offered it to me for 7.50. I thought he was sayin 75.00. LOL

Well now I need advice how I should winter this plant. I have a sunroom that I could keep it active for the winter. I have a warm laundry room that I keep a lot of my tropicals. Temps 55-67 all winter. Which area would be best? Thank you for the help.

Siam Ruby banana is a great banana for the summer yard! They like a sunny and cool, but not cold, winter location. 50's at night, warming up to 60s during the day should suit it. Keep on the dry side. Spider mites will be an issue if you go warmer.

Thank you for the info. It sounds like the Sunroom is going to be perfect.
