Default Re: Overwintering Ensete Ventricosum inside??

I totally agree with you greenpassion. I'm feel like I'm running out of time fast and getting a bit anxious as well. But as for your plants, in the past I kept huge potted Ensete in the pots and dragged them to the basement. No extra lighting. But I got tired of dragging pots around I have seen many reports around on keeping them laying on basement floors dormant, bareroot. As for elephant ears-big ones like you have and you see to the left-yeah those you don't see how-to's on. My only suggestion on those is to pot them up and keep them in the basmeent although this year my plan is to dig 'em up and store them in bags with peat moss. I just can't drag pots around anymore. Not the kind you are talking about. They are too much. Anything I can store bare root or in peat I will to avoid drying out.
