Re: Soil drainage question
What I did for my smaller tissue culture bananas is to make sure drainage holes were adequate. Many of the smaller plastic pots I was using had smaller holes. I drilled them out to make sure they were good size. Then used a layer of pea gravel on the bottom. For soil I started out with cactus soil since it’s fast draining. It can get expensive when you start getting larger plants so I started making a mixture of 50% miracle grow, 25% peat, 25% perlite. Many of my original plants were about 6 inch TC plants and worked well for me. Don’t use the moisture control potting soils as they will hold way too much moisture and will rot your plants. There are some good posts with good soil mixtures using the search too.
