Hello I’m new
 

Hi everyone I’m new here and to growing bananas. I was able to obtain a couple small plants from a great uncle in Georgia. I’m growing them in pots but have no idea what I’m doing. Planted them in soil that is made for cactus and succulents. Other than that I have no idea what I’m doing so any pointers would be great. Also if you look at the pictures one of mine seems to have split since I ported it and is growing rapidly (about three inches a night). If you could let me know if I need to do anything to it or if I should just let it grow. Thanks!

There are some good Youtube videos on care for tropicals and banana plants.

I can’t figure out the picture thing I think because I’m on here from my phone. The plant seems to have done a pseudo stem split and is growing well. I’m just not sure if or when I should cut the old stem off? I posted pictures of it on the Facebook page. Now within two weeks it has two healthy looking large leaves.

Your pics may be too large, I think they need to be 2MB or smaller.
