Before that it was in a 3 gallon pot, and before that a 1 qt. pot.

I add a combination of miracle grow and seaweed juice every other watering. Watering happens whenever it is dry more than an inch down. This can range from 36 hours in the summer to every 2 weeks in the winter, It stays in the greenhouse year round. In the winter it is maintained at around 70 degrees, except Jan/Feb when I let it go down to 65. There is powered ventilation, so it doesn't usually go above 85 in the summer. The humidity is not controlled, so it is whatever the ambient is during the summer, and anywhere from 40 to 60 in the winter depending on whether I have watered the plants recently.

I have never grown a banana before, so I can't compare different mixes. BTW, there is also some hardwood ashes in the mix.

The DLI in the winter is around 9-10 Mols in the winter and around 40-50 in the summer.
