Default Re: Bananas & Cannas

They are not in the same botanical family, but the same order (a step above family in the hierarchy of taxonomy). They are from all over the world from many different regions. Growing requirements can change even among species in the same genera, so no, they do not all have the same requirements necessarily, but many do due to the fact that most are from similar/the same region/climate. There are however species that grow in completely different areas climatologically but are still related.
