Starting Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' - Red Banana Plant Spring Care Tips

Today's video is about getting Ensete ventricosum 'Maurelii' red Abyssinian banana plants ready to grow in spring following their winter dry storage indoors (they generally wouldn’t survive a long, cold & wet U.K. winter outdoors). I talk about tidying them up, potting them into small containers and a few spring care tips to coax them into growth followed by my hardening off process. These are one of my favourite tropical style foliage plants for UK jungle & exotic gardens, amazing impact for summer bedding displays, huge colourful leaves and very fast growing too!
