Great first choice for a first as well as potted banana plant! Unlike some who tend to "Bonsai" their plants in smallish containers I like to move them up rapidly in pot size to allow for improved root and corm development almost as if they were in the ground. . I don't like the self watering pots and tend like the others to maintain a well drained soil mix. With attention you'll get a feel for what the plant likes in relation to watering in relation to temperature/pot size etc. Here's mine that I expect to flower next year for sure in a 25 gallon container after I had removed 7 or 8 smaller pups just keeping the one biggest to replace the mother plant while keeping the entire corm when the time comes. This plant is just over 1 year old from a tiny starter plant.
