growing bananas indoors -- is this for real?

Jan 14, 2005 4 Replies

Hello,



I've seen several websites claiming that you can grow certain varieties of bananas indoors as houseplants. These plants are said to be 5 feet (1.7 m) or shorter, and able to tolerate houehold temperatures.


  1. Is this for real?
  2. What about transportation? Suppose I buy a corm through the mail. Does it hurt for a corm to freeze (in the mail), the same it would hurt the full plant? (I live in Wisconsin, and the temps today are below zero Fahrenheit. I can wait until June, I suppose, to order.)
  3. What else do I need to know?

Thank you very much!
