Re: just tried to grow my first pup= Failure
You're in Arizona? Bananas grow well in Arizona, but struggle to build roots in the dry soil, as well as to acclimate to the intensity of our sunshine. I start everything first in a pot where I can control moisture carefully.
I also think you played with the soil too much. I mix Palm soil, composted steer manure, and native soil, and backfill anywhere I'm going to plant. I start them in filter light, and then slowly introduce full sun as they show significant growth.
Good luck!
