Semi-hydro is a method where the bananas are grown in a liquid nutrient solution similar to what the hydroponic growers would use, but with semi-hydro you add clay pellets to support the plant in the container, but which will still allow the nutrients to circulate around the roots. Since a banana has a lot of weight to support above the growing media, I think semi-hydro would work where plain hydroponic growing would not.

I think some of the growers here may have done that a while ago, but you would have to search for the thread.
