How do I prepare my Musa acumiata planted in pots for the winter?
Hello all Bananafans
  I do need some advise! I have some Musa acuminata and some M.basjoo planted in pots and just wonder how I should get them the best treatment/care during the winter??  Next year the M.basjoo shall be placed outside year around. I had one M.acumiata last year and during the wintertime all the leaves went yellow and after a while the plant died! I have a basement with growing lights and with a temperature of 12-16 C. Or should they be placed near a window(south). Onemore thing When do I cut off the suckers?? Shall I do that before winter or shall I do it in the springtime???I would be so greatful for some help! Marcus (Sweden)

Re: How do I prepare my Musa acumiata planted in pots for the winter?
Welcome aboard, Marcus
! I think you'll find this a very friendly & info-packed site, I sure did! If ya have any questions about using the forum, just ask.As for over-wintering, I have over-wintered (with fabulous success) 4 Blue Java bananas for 3 years now. If ya cut off the pups, be sure to give them a little of the corm and roots. I put mine in pots that are just barely big enough, rarely give them much food, and Never water them at all, in the winter. I keep them in a cool (under 20 c) room near a sunny SW window. BTW, you'll find even more, & more detailed, info on that in the threads . Enjoy!For Musa Ae Ae for sale, check the Ads at the bottom of the 1st page of this forum. I've seen lots of beautiful Ae Ae's in the threads & galleries. There's very likely someone with one for sale. |

. That's exactly right! Also, the growlights should work just fine. If ya have any other questions, feel free to ask!Damn I love bananas, too BTW, here's a photo of some of the Ice Cream Bananas I've over-wintered for 3 years now. The main stems are about 8-10 inches wide. I took the photo last weekend: The tomato arbor is about 9 feet tall but the tomatoes are dying back from the summer heat. Best of Luck !Last edited by Eric : 09-02-2009 at 08:39 PM. |

Oh! I must say that this was a very friendly welcome
And yea, we usually do have a cold winter. But it usually only gets below freezing in late januari and februari. Eric, damn they are looking great!!! Hope I will get my bananas to do as well as yours! I will put up some pics so you all may follow my progress with my bananas. Thanks folks Maque......
