Those leaves won't look better, but it will very quickly grow new leaves when the warm weather arrives (at a rate of about 1 leaf per week when it's really warm!) Make sure to bring it in when temperatures dip below 40 to keep it from getting frost. Bananas grow very little when temperatures drop below 50F so keep that in mind also. Good luck! -Alex

You probably don't want to fertilize from the get go. Let them acclimate and start putting out a new leaf. It does't hurt to get a soil test done. Then you know if your are fine for P, K, Mg etc. and can relax a little about fertilizer. I use 20-0-30 1/4 c once a month and will increase to 1/2 c next month. I have a namwah I planted in April and its growing well. I water about every third day unless its brutally hot (which it has been) and then I assess them in the evening. Good luck!

I'm planning to keep my banana tree in a container indoors, currently the container is too small so I'm forced to transplant the tree. I don't know if it's recommended to separate the "mother stalk" from the smaller stalks if I only have 2 others. I also want to know what soil mixture I should use in the pot I will be transplanting the tree into, what minimum temp.I should keep the tree at, and what organic fertilizers are recommended by other gardeners to use on this plant.

Hi Karen you only need one. Soon you will get pups, 3 to a corm is a good number for fruit production. The variety is the most important factor.
