A well draining soil using 20% perlite is very important. Combine watering with light fertilizer with almost every watering, as banana plants feed heavily. Do not water weekly; water when approximately 1/2" of soil is dry. Twelve hours of bright light work great with this plant. Fresh circulating air and warm temperatures are favorites.
