Direction of flower head
 

I have three banana plants shooting their flower heads now. Sweetheart, Dwarf Brazilian and Dwarf Namwah. Their flowers are all hanging to the SSW direction. Is that the norm?

They flower the Direction away from the Mother plant or away from the cut from the mother thus when planting a pup you can orient the plant initially so you know where the fruit is going to go (like not over your fence onto neighbors property).. :^)

Know here is the big mystery...which way do the flowers come from TC plants

Re: Direction of flower head
 

You can flip them to the opposite direction if you need to.

I always mark my pots when potting up a pup the opposite side of the cut so I know how to orient the pot before I put it in the ground.. In a pot you can always spin it.. :^)

mine always start to lean before they flower..i have one going west now,my praying hands went north and south and my ice cream went east...

Thanks for sharing, I had did not know this. I used to just plant or pot them up, but now I will mark the direction and consider this first!
