Great video Sir! Btw, i would like to mention that even without roots your banana can survive and root :D Just put it plastic bag over it after placing it in soil + using fungicide or cinnamon on wound will help. I received musa basjoo without any root, cutted from base of the plant too soon and it rooted after 1 month or so... Now it is huge guy which gave me tons of babies ;)
Thanks for putting up this series of videos in the Ensete Maurelii. I am going to follow your method for my Ensete Ventri....the green / varigated one. I only have one and just checking in with you and your followers before I sacrifice it. There is o reason why it should be any different to the prop of the Maurelii. Thks again
For the small plants I keep them in my conservatory in pots, although they don't really grow much over winter. For the bigger plants I cut off the roots and leaves and store them in a cool place which is frost free, then plant them out in spring.
Yes it was late autumn, I think it was early November just before the first frosts were due to come. There is a part one to this video where I go into more detail about digging up and splitting the ensete.

How will you keep those in winter? The same as big ones?

Could you tell me when you did the original split, was it this time last year?
