Re: Musa Siamensis
This is a tropical Banana so suggests it will need a high level of heat to keep it happy. What temperature are you intending to keep it at overwinter?bananaking29 wrote:After 3 months i have a nice size musa siamensis

I struggled with Siam Ruby as it could not hack temps below 10C, or the lack of light in December.
Best regards

I've got one of these in the living room window in a 9cm pot.
Hoping to get it through the winter, just produced a new leaf so all going well
Will post a pic when I find out how
