They can either be placed under a grow light to continue active growth, or their stems can be cut to about 1 foot and stored in a cool, dry place that stays in the 50s. In-ground plants in zones lower than 9 must be covered with several feet of straw or shredded leaves, which will insulate the bulb underground without holding water and causing rot. In spring, the plant will send up new stems called pups, which can be divided and transplanted once they are 12–24 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":48860131360938,"sku":"30945","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":48860131393706,"sku":"30946","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/jmqa6zejmdkv_4d67b9f4-6401-4465-8187-2ee53e65bba0.jpg?v=1784864275"},{"product_id":"dwarf-cavendish-banana-tree-qyh2oh","title":"Dwarf Cavendish Banana Tree","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGrow Delicious Bananas Indoors or Out!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp vwo-el-id=\"14985311270\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\" vwo-el-id=\"11125875390\"\u003eWhy Dwarf Cavendish Banana Trees?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp vwo-el-id=\"14985311270\"\u003eSuperfruit, right from home.
