hi,

i have 2 musa basjoo and 2 ensete ventricosum. i bought them as plugs. at the moment they are in pots on my windowsill (above a radiator so warm).

i am wondering whether i can put them outside in the day or not. or outside in my mini greenhouse (it gets only late afternoon / evening sun where it is). temperatures get below 10dc at night though. so bring them in when getting dark maybe?

both the basjoos are coming on good - now about 4 inches tall with 4-5 leaves and new growth in the middle. one ensete is a bit smaller and not doing a lot, although there is some new very recent action in the middle finally. the other ensete is a good 7 inches tall now. probably double the size it was a couple of weeks ago.

i suppose to simplify my question, when's safe to put outside in the uk (south)? and which do they prefer mosty at the early stage: light or heat?

thanks
