Yeah it survived. I'm sure it was the sun stroke at the beginning. It's getting hotter and hotter now, it will be 37 C tomorrow and humidity will be very low, like 20% during midday, which I guess bananas don't like. Unfortunately humidity is the only thing I cannot control. I water her almost every day.

So my banana is growing but quite slowly. About 1 new leaf per month at the current rate. It should be faster, right?

Re winter, I know that the root will probably survive without protection but I'd like to try and keep the stem too so that it will grow larger on the second year. I have read that bananas are perennials though, so apparently the stem won't last for more than 18 months no matter what?
