Question Re: rajapuri, dwarf cavendishi slow growing

First off what size pot are they in, we have somewhat of a freindly debate here but I favor the biggest you can manage. What type of potting medium? I use miracle grow mix and ammend with bark chips and perlite for better drainage and to allow some air to the roots. Ambient light is great and should always be made use of, still any additional high quality lighting you can supply is a bonus. Be careful with fertilizer, up until I joined here I used 5-1-1fish emusion or a 12-0-0 nitrogen source based on nitrogen= green growth. A balanced fertilizer say a 3-1-6 or equivalant,I'm using 5-2-6 out of convenience has provided better results.
