Banananutter
Hi,
I am new to the forum and have tried a banana plant once before but it died. I was told that it was fairly hardy and kept it in a polytunnel last winter but it did not survive. I have bought a pair of dwarf cavendish about 300mm tall and could do with advice. What size pots do they like, the best mixture to plant them in and watering and feeding? I am in south east England Thanks |

Re: Banananutter
Howdy banananutter: Welcome Aboard. methinks I would put them in 1 gal pots, and bring them inside if the temps get below 45 F. Water once a week, check for critters weekly and look for roots trying to escape your pots. If seen, jump to a bigger pot, with a well draining mix. Depending on amount of growth, fertilize once per month or so, with a good mix. Go back into archive and look up "banana fuel", from another member. Great info, so you don't get ripped off by fertlizer sales people!
Stay Safe, BrotherTom, Portland,OR. USA |
