Growing Bananas

[allensylves]

I agree with rbgs - let the cut surface dry for a day or more. I have left them in a shady spot and in a loose plastic bag (used to transport from a friend) for up to +/- 2 weeks and had no problem. Cinder SOIL should be OK, just not straight cinder. No need for Rootone. In pot or in ground should not matter. My memory is that 'sword-leaf' stage is best, not wide 'normal' leaves. The ones I was given were about 3 - 5 feet tall stems - not including leaves.
