How to grow a banana tree
- Look up your area’s temperature and humidity-Humidity should be at least 50% and as constant as possible.[1]
- Banana plants grow best with 12 hours of direct, bright sunlight each day.
- Choose an area with good drainage. Bananas require a lot of water but are prone to rotting if the water does not drain adequately.
- Consider growing it indoors. If your outdoor environment is inadequate, you’ll need an indoor location with similar requirements (12 hours bright light and constant warm temperature and humidity).
- Place the plant upright in the new soil. The leaves should be pointing upward and the soil should cover the roots and 1.5–2.5cm (0.5–1 inches) of the base. Tamp the soil down to keep it in place but don’t pack too firmly.
- Fertilize monthly a short distance from the trunk. Use store-bought fertilizer, compost, manure, or a mixture of these.
- Water frequently but avoid overwatering. Underwatering is a common cause of banana plant death, but overwatering can cause the roots to rot.[20]
