It's been a few months since I joined this forum, collecting informations - and, finally, I got my first banana plant!

The site I got this plant said it is "Monkey Banana", and I thought it could be Señorita, since here, in Korea, we call señorita fruits "Monkey Banana". But, as it was delivered to my home, I can definitely say it is Super Dwarf Cavendish. It would be better than señorita as I can only grow it indoors - My home doesn't even have a garden!

The environment is also not that good for growing banana - not much sunshine(all of plants I grow bolt too much, so I would like to buy some LED lamps), little space, and the fact that I frequently forget watering them - and not much money!

I think the plant is healthy enough, but still I don't know much on banana plants, so please give me some tips, like what and how to fertilize, on growing this one!

Also, I bought 10 velutina seedlings, so it would be nice if you give me some tips about how to germinate them.

By the way, all of them costed 12 dollars. LOL
