The best light to grow your Musa basjoo banana is full to partial sun. Whether potted inside or outside, Banana plants grow best with at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. The more sunlight you provide your plant, the more water it may need to retain their moist soil environment.

A water soluble or organic fertilizer such as 8-10-8 will do, and should be applied once every week during the growing season.

Due to their tropical nature, Basjoo Banana plants prefer moist, well-drained soil. We recommend watering your plant deeply once the soil begins to dry out. While this plant likes moisture, avoid overwatering which can cause root rot. We estimate that watering up to three times a week will do.
What type of soil is best for Hardy Banana?
