Hey I'm over on Vancouver Island growing lots of these Red Bananas.

If you plant it out too soon you are going to get rot.

Best to leave it how it is right now until it warms up some more. You are right in only watering a little bit. Once it heats up it will grow very fast.

Sometimes I move them outdoors in pots on sunny days but make sure they go back in the garage on cold rainy days. I've had many plants make it thru the winter only to die in the spring because I was trying to get them out too soon.

If you have a greenhouse that might help.

When you dig it up next fall plant it in the smallest pot that it will fit into. I have about 30-40 of these going right now in my shed and the ones in smaller pots seem to have a much better survival rate. They also seem to spring back more quickly in the summer.

Cheers
