thanks for all advices in advance

Coco substrate is used as a supplement to the main ground for better water and air permeability, depending on the particle size the growth of epiphytes, hydroponics and seed germination. I would not use it as a basic primer, because it dries quickly, and bananas, with their large leaves evaporate a lot of water. Contains no nutrients, so will need to select the concentration of fertilizers, frequent watering, fertilizer will be washed out of the substrate. Container 40 liters Rajapuri small. To move the container I pan with plastic castors. But they break from this weight, so it's best to do some board with wheels reliably.
