Re: Looking for my first banana plant, help?
The right plant+the right pot+the right soil=success
I have only fruited 1 plant in a pot. Although a bit of a different situation. It was in my 28 gallon container in my aquaponic setup. Dwarf Orinoco is a beast that never lets you down. You would have similar results with Dwarf Namwah, and Raja Puri.
Pot needs some size. Bigger the better. You may have to be creative. 30 gallon would be the smallest I would try to fruit in, but bigger would have bigger results.
Well draining soil! Well draining soil! Well draining soil! Very important! Bananas do not like soggy soil. One of the quickest ways to kill a banana is soggy soil. They also do not like dry soil. Pick a soil that drains well and water on a regular basis. Check the soil often just with a finger. Your finger is a great moisture meter.
Good luck!
