Default Re: Can I make potted banana plants grow faster with a heat pad?

Those look like water suckers.

Yeah, HEAT, by all means, will make them grow. Sunlight helps a lot too but having them in heat in the shade they'll grow, just not as fast or as vibrant.

The size of the container does make a difference. I put a Orinoco, what turned out to be a water sucker, in a clay pot a few years ago and it never got over a foot tall.
