how big are they now?

I'm sure truly tiny would be fine in a 5 gal
DC- find a pot as big as you can get.

My truly tiny is about full size so i think 2 1/2- 3ft and the dwarf cavendish is about 2ft now so what size would be best? And also what soil? Im gonna buy most likely at home depot.

Ditto.....
miracle grow type soil or equivalent preferably without water retention/crystals properties which could cause you to overwater the plant.
I prefer a peatmoss and perlite based soilesss mix.

Ive never tried potting soilless what are the benefits? And also would that be 30 gallon pot for the Dwarf cavendish? Or Truly Tiny because i will only keep them inside until it starts getting warmer in my area

This is just for size reference only.
From 1gal to 12 gal with a 5 gal bucket on the end.
Most of the med to lrg containers will work.
Don't forget the saucer.

.Pot sizes to plant

Go to "Photo Gallery" in the board menu next to User CP and Classifieds (in the Line where the Wiki is located) than go to "My Photos" still located on the upper left side of the board. Than go to "Upload Photos" (this time upper right side)

When you done you can link the Pic to the post
