I plan to plant my Dwarf Orinoco outside in the spring. It is currently in a pot, growing well, and 40" to the tip of the tallest leaf. (Btw, what is the correct way of measuring the height of a banana?). I would like some tips on how to plant it, wht type of soil, and how to properly stake it, so that it doesn't break and/or blow over in strong winds.
