Re: How often should I water my bananas?
The problem with watering them everyday because of the heat is they won't grow deeper (and stronger) roots. They need some stress to make them root even better. Even with heat like that, you shouldn't need to water more than 3 times a week. Longer watering times on the 3 days (in the morning before or at sunrise) is what is best (in general) for yards in the summer. If the plant is struggling then it hasn't grown right. If it/they is/are established than even with the heat it's over watering.
I purposely don't water my bananas to make them grow when it's extremely hot out. If you went 3 or 5 days without watering them, when you do water them they'll have a burst of growth.
