	*Growth tips -		*Growth tips -
-	Easy from seed.	+	Easy to grow from seed. This banana will not naturally pup. You must cut the meristem stem at soil level to force pupping. Allow to dry out between waterings. Do not wet crown of plant which rots easily. Likes fairly strong sun but can tolerate up to 60% shade. Likes high temps. Not suitable in highly humid climates. Comes from a dry cycling highland plains area. If grown in pots does OK but not great due to its rather enormous root system. Has a tendency to go dormant in low light. Will die if attacked by aphids and not treated right away. Repot every 3 months or when roots show out bottoms of pots, typically 3 to 4 times a year. Rapid grower, feed 10-10-10, keep fertilizer away from corm if potted, better to use water soluble fertilizer to prevent burning of the corm.
