So, if there is an actual answer for this, please fill in the blank: If the soil around my banana is still damp, and I haven't watered it in ____ days, I should start to worry that the soil may not drain well enough.
It is hard tell you how often too water. It depends on the temp humidity. Here in the northwest I have had to wait a good 2 weeks between waterings particularly in the winter months. But in the end it is your finger that will make the decision for you Sorry I can't give you a concrete answer to a specific watering time. I hope all the answers being posted will help you out.
