A decorative banana at home will certainly not produce edible fruits.
But there are varieties that can successfully bear fruit indoors.
Moreover, you won’t have to wait long - it takes about 3 years to get fruit.
Banana bears fruit for 1 season.
What kind of land is needed for a banana palm
Soil: Bananas need nutritious, loamy soil with a slightly acidic reaction.
This can be made on the basis of store-bought soil for plants, enriched with humus and well loosened with sand or perlite to quickly drain moisture.
How to grow
Bananas love plenty of water. The soil in the pot should always be slightly moist.
In the warm season, bananas should be “fed” approximately twice a month by adding fertilizer to the water for irrigation.
It is better not to spray the leaves, otherwise brown spots may appear on them.
What does a banana tree like
Banana plants grow in tropical and subtropical regions, so they love sun and high humidity.
Therefore, bananas grown indoors need a bright place, preferably near a window.
In winter it is worth getting additional lighting.
Bananas need plenty of watering, especially in summer.
How to properly care for indoor banana
Being in conditions of low humidity for a long time, indoor banana loses its shine, and its leaves begin to dry out.
If you notice alarming signs, urgently spray the plant with water and place the pot in a tray filled with wet expanded clay.
It is worth noting that the bottom of the pot should not touch the water.
