Hello, I am an island dweller, avid gardener and love growing any kind of plant, especially tropical.



Over a year ago I purchased a rajapuri banana plant at an exorbitant price. It arrived healthy, about 2' in height with instructions on planting and care. The first year it grew 4 leaves but never grew in height. This year it has 6 leaves and very healthy but is still 2' feet high. It has been fed, watered and plenty of TLC but to my dismay seems to be a runt. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Interesting. Are you on a tropical or temperate island? Funny that it is putting out leaves without gaining height. More info is needed pictures would help too.

Welcome to the org myrium! Post up some pics of your Raja, then we can debate and find out if it really is a raja or not. Also, pot size can make a difference in height and vitality. IDEALLY, you want 1 leaf out per week. Although that can differ due to climate and care.

Post up some pics and we'll check it out! Good Luck with it and happy growing!
