Sweet! Don't overwater when they are young, or you can easily kill it by rotting the stem. You have it in a peat pot, which is good. Plenty of sun, heat, and water when it starts to get a bit dry, and it will take off. Mine is really growing well right now, and I can't wait to plant it next spring. The cool thing about bananas is you really only need one to sprout in order to eventually have many. Good luck with it, and keep us updated on its progress!
