Musa Paradisiaca "Banana" 140cm

Musa paradisiaca, commonly known as the banana plant, is a tropical herbaceous plant that belongs to the Musaceae family. Musa paradisiaca typically grows tall, with large, elongated leaves that can reach up to several feet in length. The leaves are green and arranged spirally around the stem.

It produces clusters of fruits known as bananas. The fruit bunches hang from the plant and develop in stages, starting as small green bananas and ripening into yellow ones.

• Sunlight: Banana plants thrive in full sunlight. They require at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to grow and produce fruit successfully.

• Watering: Banana plants require consistent moisture, but they don't tolerate waterlogging. Water the plant regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Reduce watering during cooler months or if the plant is in a dormant phase.

• Fertilization: Feed banana plants regularly with a balanced fertilizer to support their vigorous growth and fruit production. A fertilizer high in potassium (K) is particularly beneficial for promoting flowering and fruiting.

• Pruning: Remove old, dead leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Pruning can also help promote air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.
