Musa Acuminata Winter Care
I have a nice Musa Acuminata that will need bringing in for the winter. It’s in the ground now so need to pot it up.
My question is should I clean the roots and plant in dry potting mix or transfer directly from ground to pot with the current soil?

Hi @JamesSea , it depends if you want to try and keep it growing through winter or force it into semi-dormancy.
To keep it growing I would keep the soil that is around the roots, move it indoors to somewhere warm and bright.
To force into semi-dormancy I would remove the existing soil and pot into dry compost. Move it to somewhere frost free and only water very minimally to keep things ticking over.
I hope that helps? Others might have more to contribute 😁

Thanks Craig, I’m aiming for semi dormancy as I don’t want it to get leggy with poor lighting and away from the elements. Dry pot it is then 🙂
