I've seen people plant banana trees here and they flourish in the summer. Come winter time, they wrap their trees in burlap. I've also seen people put like a cold frame over their tropical trees planted outside. ...or you could plant your malunggay in a big decorative pot...bring it indoorswhen the weather gets cold...BUT before you bring it inside, just douse the plant with 3 to 4 drops of liquid detergent in 1 liter of water. Use a spray bottle....causes those bugs to go to the bathroom!!!!...they will leave your plant alone!!!! Angelbride: Here’s a suggestion…I live in the Northwest.

I will try to grow one anyway! Thank you guys for the malunggay input, but i’m not sure if it will survive in the winter. I will try to grow one anyway!

If you accesss to one, make a side diagonal cut about 1 to 2 cm. just to expose the sides and dip it first in a rooting hormone which can be bought in any garden store. Then prepare a conatainer with good clean soil like for starting seedlings. Oh, strip the cutting of its leaves. When you see growth starting form the nodes...you are on your way to having hopefully malunggay. When it is firmly established....prepare the site in your backyard..sunniest spot, good drainage like Isagada says and PLANT AWAY...Good Luck!!!
