Any fluffy potting media will be good for bananas. Examples are Super Soil, Scott's seed starter mix, etc. Avoid the cactus mix.

But, bananas really love potting media that are very high in organic matter. So I simply go for the cheapest such as composted steer manure mixed with redwood chips, and added ammonium sulfate and 6-20-20XB BEST fertilizer. Do not use this mix for newly shipped pups, only when repotting or planting established bananas.
