care tips
Position the banana plant in an area with indirect sunlight, where it will receive partial sunlight throughout the day. Alternatively, you can gradually introduce it to a sunny spot, but be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight for the entire day, as this may cause leaf damage. A mix of shade and direct sunlight during the day is acceptable.
Banana plants have a high water requirement during spring and summer, so make sure to water them as soon as the top layer of potting soil starts to dry out. To keep the leaves in good condition, you can increase the humidity around the plant by using a plant sprayer to mist it regularly.
the banana tree and the bananas
A common misconception is that bananas grow on trees, but in reality, they grow on plants. The plant's trunk is actually composed of a collection of leaf remains, which creates a lush and tropical environment. To produce edible fruit, the flowers need to be fertilized. With proper care, this plant will reward you with its first flowers and bananas after a three-year period.
