These are the facts on Florida's climate, taken from the University of
Floriday Climate data:
Minimum humidity usually occurs midday and generally exceeds 50% year round. On a 90°F summer day, relative humidity is between 50-70% but often approaches 90% by dawn. Swimming pools and fountains contribute to increased levels of humidity. Also adding to increased levels is heavy vegetation that blocks air flow around the home
I'm not making this up, this is factual data. I have found the White
Varegated banana start to burn up when humidity drops lower than 80%
The lower the humidity the more it burns. If the humidity goes back
up it's not going to be able to unburn itselfe. So when people say
they are easy to grow and theirs do not burn, well we know they
are not quite being honest. Like I said before by planting by a pond and
where it won't get full sun in the afternoon, will increase chances of having
a nicer looking plant with less burn. Humidity plays a major role on how
these plants look. 50-70% humidity will give you burn. They would
be much easier to grow in florida than most places. The problem is not
everbody lives in Florida. Being an informed shopper never hurts.
