Your care routine
Watering
Do not allow the root zone to dry during growth.
Soil & drainage
Rich, moisture-retentive potting mix with ample drainage.
Fertilizer
Feed regularly while growing, following the selected product’s label.
Temperature
Keep warm and frost-free; these ornamental bananas need protected overwintering in Metro Vancouver.
Humidity
Moderate to higher humidity helps keep the broad leaves in good condition; maintain air movement.
Through the seasons
Water and feed more during bright, active growth. Protect from frost, reduce water as indoor winter growth slows, and avoid cold wet roots.
When your plant needs help
- Waterlogged soil can damage roots; check drainage before watering again.
- Inspect new growth and leaf undersides for pests and isolate affected plants.
