Hello everyone, i leave in a place with about 11 to 12 hours of sunlight and a temperature range of about 18 degrees C to 35 degrees C in the months of november to february.
and about 25 degrees C to 40 degrees the rest of the year.

How often should i water my banana plants and if possible, how many liters of water is required during watering?

Thanks and have a nice day

That is a very complex question.

It depends on water holding ability of the soil (sand, clay, loam, etc), humidity (lower humidity requires higher water input), temperature (generally higher temps require more water, but temperature and humidity interact with each other), number of hours of daylight, etc.

You need to use enough water to keep soil wet to a depth of 12-18" throughout the entire rootzone (which may be larger than you think). This could be something like 500 gallons a couple times a week, depending on all of the different factors.

General rule - it is hard to overwater bananas, however if the water is pooling, and not soaking into the soil anymore, that is too much.
