Ensete ventricosum Maurellii is actually an old Victorian favourite brought back to life , although it won't grow any real bananas. Responds really well to watering and tomato feed, so to keep it shorter, treat it mean. It can reach 2m tall in one season so choose a large pot! For the best red colour Ensete maurellii needs dappled shade, but loves high temperatures. The only problem is that it needs to have winter protection in a conservatory or greenhouse. You can cut it back in the autumn... |
