I recently picked up the new hobby of growing palm trees, I have tried germinating Mexican Fan Palms and a few others and have had great luck considering I'm a newbie and have learned what I know off various web sites.
So only three months into my new hobby I've become very excited and I'm trying to find new ways to expand my knowledge.
Well today my first Dwarf Banana tree arived that I ordered from online.
So my question is, what do I need to get started for a great looking banana tree indoors?
I live in NE utah, the climate here is very dry especially in winter months.
I have read that bananas like moist, well drained soil, a potting soil\sand mix, it also says they like acidic soil?
Will I need a humidifier?
How often should I water a small guy?
What is the best fertilizer for them?
Any help is greatly appreciated, and I feel like I crammed a lot of questions into this post!
Have a great day
Brad
