Potting a Banana Plant || Things to Know For Potted Banana Trees

Just potting up a banana plant and seemed like a good time to talk about how to grow bananas in pots. I forgot to mention when to repot the plants, repot every year, when temps are warm, or whenever it gets to the point that you can't seem to keep the plant hydrated, possibly will see roots bulging out of the surface of the soil and perhaps the bottom of the pot. This a dwarf banana and should be fine in this 20 inch container until next year. Dwarf banana care is simple, lots of light, lots of water, lots of / frequent or regular fertilizing. Growing Musa is rewarding and simple. There are was to grow bananas that effect their sweetness and size and there are even fun bananas for the cold.

Thank you Jeff, see you Saturday, stay safe and stay healthy, I hope your back is doing much better? 🌸💚🙃

[cherylmckenrick]

First! this just proves how eager I am to see your videos. I just love the banana plant-so tropical!! thanks Jeff!

[macylouwho]

I’m glad you did this video with bananas. My husband has become obsessed with them due to the big tropical leaves and now he’s brought home at least three of them. And then expects me to “know” how to keep them alive indoors after Midwest fall/winter commences. I bring them in, they go straight to crap on me in two days. I don’t know why 🤷‍♀️😂

[sherrieromero]

The info I have gotten from you is fantastic! And love that you respond to your comments. Your channel is my favorite planty channel!

[michellepollino]

Thanks for all the information about growing banana plant.

[Svafne]

Honestly the best banana care information video I've seen so far!

Thanks man, my Nanis will become happier :)

[judymckerrow]

Oh ya I made it home and oh boy! I was waiting for you so I could go outside to fix a bunch of things😬🌸💚🙃

Hi Jeff! That dwarf banana plant is too cute! It would be fun to grow one, but I don't have room on my decks, or a place to keep it indoors. You always give such great information on the plants and it's always very much appreciated. The Nanouk's in with it are a pretty touch. Thank you so much for sharing!

[donabellahardeneravlogs]

Wow that's great planting banana in a pot.

[tanyatanya]

Pretty blue pot. GREAT VIDEO, THANK YOU.

[sunnyjozani]

Such an adorable combination of plants! I love it!

[roseladd]

🍌cute banana tree, I am now going to the other video for growing banana plants indoors!

[macysondheim]

The tradescantia nanouks look absolutely fantastic with the banana plant

[jason-white]

Great info. I got my tree late last year and had to overwinter it in the house. What a About a month ago I planted it outside. It's doing beautifully now but I am crossing my fingers for this coming cool season.

Thank goodness I can leave my banana trees outside in the garden. They along with my 2 pindo palms & calla lilies are what makes my pool side look tropical here in GA. Caught a big armadillo 2 weeks ago in a cage trap & relocated it far away to a pecan orchard. He was huge & tearing up my flower beds. One week later, I’m seeing traces of another one. Sheesh. Between the Japanese beetles, rabbits & armadillo’s it’s been a real challenge this year. But I “just keep on growing”. Lol

[celebrityestates]

I never comment but this was very informative, thank you very much for the tips 😎

[martinwittig]

Nice video. I always use miracle grow succulent soil. They always love it:)

[sunnycharacter]

Wow, I’ve never seen a dwarf cave dish with a variegated leaf! 😂😜 I’m leaving my banana plants outside in the ground and they LOVE water, my goodness! I have one Dwarf Cavendish that I got last month and out right in the ground (zone 8b) . She came with 2 tiny pups and a new shoot near the corm. I’ll be wrapping her pseudo-stem with bubble wrap like I’ll do with the bigger ones then high mulch. Hoping that will give me some fruiting stems next summer. But I’ll pot up her oldest sword sucker and bring inside since they aren’t quite as Hardy as my others. I found that here the corms do great super heavily mulched, just like my cannas and taros. As far as food, they’ve been super happy with my banana peel, veggie and pineapple skin scraps. I’ll just keep doing that for my outside In ground ones.

I just love all types of bananas and stated putting a few in pots this season to see if I could drag them indoors with some light over winter here in zone 9b in Pensacola fl and jeep alive over winter. Not sure how this experiment
Will turn out

[wesleyhackney]

I like using alfalfa pellets for extra fertilizer
