care tips
Place the banana plant in a location where indirect sunlight is present throughout the day. Some shade or direct sunlight during the day is not a big deal. Banana plants can be very thirsty. Water them as soon as the top layer of potting soil begins to dry out. If you increase the humidity around this plant, the leaves will stay in better condition. Do this with a plant sprayer.
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.
