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.

If you take good care of this plant, it will reward you with the first few flowers and bananas after 3 years.
