I just got My Mona Lisa and Goldfinger!
I just receive my Musa Mona Lisa and Goldfinger from Florida Hill Nursery. Should I put them in Partial or Full Sun?

Re: I just got My Mona Lisa and Goldfinger!
Congrats! I hope that you got what you paid for!
I'd bring them gradually in the sun... |

Re: I just got My Mona Lisa and Goldfinger!
Congrats. Those are 2 awesome varieties to grow. Goldfinger is my favorite tasting banana so far. I received a few mislabeled/incorrect plants from flordia hill. I hope you got the correct ones you wanted! Those 2 are more difficult to identify then others so you won't know for sure until they bloom. Goldfinger blooms for me in around 300 days. Mona Lisa is a slow starter but does good after it's established.
I would keep them in partial sun (greenhouse) conditions for a couple weeks. Then slowly start giving them some sun.

Just my opinion, so unless you live in zone 10 (Florida) harden the plants off before planting in the ground. |
