Also, bananas typically do well in numbers, at least for me. Several stems spaced out 12-24 inches in a circle do better than a single stem alone.
Okay thanks! I am certainly going to try it your way! Several in a row! I mainly only had one banana and then the pup originally. Now I’ve got 3 right near each other. I don’t think I knew that to keep them closer together!
