Thanks guys, maybe I can find a way to put a little GH over it or something - though it's pretty tight in with other plants, so I'll have to experiment with that space wise. Worst case I will dig it up at the last minute, and put it in a good size pot under the halides - there should be enough energy in the stem to produce the bananas that way... hopefully.

I will definitely keep you all posted - I suspect in future years I'll be doing this with the larger fruiting bananas too. Given how many of my basjoo finally bloomed this year, I am hoping the IC and/or Orinocos will bloom in the near year or two.
