care tips

We want you to enjoy your banana plant as much as possible. That's why you have to water it constantly during spring, summer and autumn. That's one of the fundamental cares of the banana plant. It loves high and constant humidity. And it will never get tired of the sun, but introduce it slowly to it! (otherwise its leaves will turn brown)

For sure it likes to grow in areas with warm temperatures. It does not usually like the winter in the interior parts of Spain. We recommend you to put the plant inside from December to March if the temperatures are getting below 8-9 celsius degrees. Please fertilize the plant once a year during spring.

If you want to move the muse to another pot, keep in mind that the transplant is always done in spring or autumn, this is when its roots are in the best condition.

the banana tree and the bananas

First of all, bananas do not grow on trees, but on plants. The trunk actually consists of an open pile of leaf remains. These large leaves ensure that the plant quickly gives; a tropical impression to its interior. To get edible fruits you have to fertilize the flowers. If you take good care of this plant, it will reward you with the first few flowers and bananas after 3 years.

health

The banana is the most widely consumed tropical fruit in the world. And you can also grow it on your own balcony, garden and terrace! The most characteristic mineral elements and nutrients of the bananas are:
