Re: How to get more bananas to grow?

Depends on growing conditions, soil quality, and cavendish variety. Some cavendish can give you 100 pounds or more. If the plants are stunted in a pot that restricts them then they will produce less.

Re: How to get more bananas to grow?

Banana flowers are female and swell. The small flowers are male and are not meant to be bananas kust pollen makers.

Re: Transplant stress: Is there hope?

Oh, how big are those pots? Use 12" pot or bigger. The extra soil and room will hold more water without being too wet and AIR.
