All the bananas I have seen in the wild were growing in moist environments surrounded by humid
air; wicking away moisture by other plants is not an issue.

I have transplanted a relatively small Basjoo (leaves only up to 4 or 5 feet high) from a 19" dia pot
into the ground for the winter and was amazed to see, that it was almost root bound and that was
not, because it lacked water, because it was on regular automatic irrigation. and it had been in that
pot only for one summer, after wintering inside in a different (smaller) pot.
