Default Re: Bananas In Containers

I think pot size helps, last year I used ten gallon. Ten gallon seem to be fine for small Musa Ornata types but too small for big Musa and Ensete. A Musa 'African Red' ( Gabe plant) flowered in a ten gallon pot, it was a smallish pup in June. Watering is a daily job , sometimes twice a day in the hot weather of Maryland.
Brugmansia's did great in Ten Gallon pots. A lot of Colocasia were not so good , Alocasia was fine. I'm going to try and get some bigger pots for this year.
Later
