Not at all! Just make sure, that you have reasonably porous soil and positive drainage through the bottom
of the pot and you do not even have to worry about watering too much. I will post more on that on Tuesday.
If bananas are dormant, then they are sensitive to moisture and rot, but when they are actively growing they
do need water, They have it in great amounts, where they are at home and they do need moist soil here,
similar to any other actively growing house plants.
