Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
Thanks Hector! Making room for another nana coming soon! =) It never amazes me how disorganized and well..dirty the overwinter room becomes. But after all the shuffling, rotating, moving of plants aroumd., watering, misting..etc...it is no wonder. I thougjt I had 15 or so plants, more nearing 40...amazing how that happens! Do I need any more..no! Will I get more...Absolutely!

Gary,
Are you taking the kids out for a walk? Those plants look good for so late in the season. |

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
Very nice collection. I'm inspired to do more with potted plants and minimal indoor lighting for next winter.
I was wondering why take them outside for a few hours? Was it for bug spraying or sun exposure? I used to drag plants outside from my garage on cool sunny days but I stopped doing it since I wasn't able to see a return on my time investment in taking the plants outside. Erik |

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
Thank you Akula! Geissene, I try to have them outside every chance I can throughout winter/spring when weather permits. Over the course of Winter those hours add up and seem really beneficial to the plants. I really dont have to acclimate much when ready to stay out for good again. When they do go outside for those extra hours I can always see some growth or a pup emerge and pushing through. Although they do "good" over wintered indoors with "ok" light, you can tell they perk up and are happier with the real sun.

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
so the interweb knows... the plants dont actually come out during the day
this is where they live for the winter march growth: pups: and for comparison here is a pic when they were first brought inside: and now... they almost immediately grew right back to the size they were outside in the fall and have been hitting the ceiling ever since |

Re: Time to put the bananas to sleep for the Winter
And so it starts......
The pallets will be my frame for piling in and on a lot of mulch. I intend to try to save all of the pup pstems as well and then separate them in the Spring
