I haven't really tried growing indoor banana yet, just wondering if I could start my banana plants this winter inside and give them a head start, I'm in zone 7. Does any here have any tips for growing banana inside? Do I need super duper bright sodium vapor lights or can I use something less? What are your experinces growing inside?

Yes, you'll want some bright lights but you don't need any pot growing lamps like you mentioned, it's all about proximity to the light source, but without burning the leaves. You are not trying to get the banana to fruit inside you are only trying to get it's growth cycle started early. Also watch out and don't over water and over feed, in the winter months since the plants won't need as much as in the active growing months of summer. But do look and make sure they don't get too dry since the dry indoor air of winter will leave your plants thirsty. Good Luck!
