General Discussions. » banana plant in Ohio Sep 7, 2008 06:18 PM (Total replies: 1)

Hi, I'm so glad I found this forum! My mother-in-law gave me a banana plant last year which I've managed to keep alive in Ohio w/o knowing much about it. Right now I have the mother plant and three pups which I feel I should separate (they are between 2-3 feet tall each) but am worried b/c it's getting colder here and soon I'll bring them inside and am not sure if I should do it now or wait til after winter. Also, leaves get brown and wilt, do I cut them all the way down the stalk or just where it is brown? I realize after reading that I am not fertilizing how I should so I will change that. I bring it inside over the winter but it gets plenty of sunlight so it doesn't go dormant. I wish that I'd see some fruit on it but b/c I'm in Ohio I can't plant it in the ground (and where I live has clay soil), but will it ever fruit in just a container? If not it's ok b/c I just love the way it looks but seeing it fruit would be great! I don't know what variety I have, either-I'll need to look into that more. Any suggestions for my questions, or any general suggestions on having these where I live would be great, thanks!
