I'm going to leave them in their pots when I take them back outside this summer in case I get a bloom. All the pups I'm just planting in the ground. I had ornamental bananas on my laterita and I dug it up and brought inside to see if they would continue to ripen and they didn't.

I have a dilema though as my daughter had a little green anole lizard she didn't want and I let the little guy loose in there and he's been living happily in the bananas with a little aquarium buffet of crickets he goes in and out of to eat. I guess I'm going to have to leave a couple nanas inside all summer
