PLANT CARE GUIDE

Placement

Placement

Place your Banana Plant in a room next to a bright, sunny window. She should receive light for most of the day. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even growth.

Light Requirements

Light Requirements

The Banana Plant needs full sunlight, with 6 to 8 hours of bright, direct sunlight each day.

Watering Needs

Watering Needs

Keep the plant's soil constantly moist and do not let it dry out. In warmer months, water every 2 or 3 days, or when the top 1/2 to 1 inch of soil is dry. When watering, water the plant with fresh, lukewarm water generously and evenly from above, then tip out any excess water. Be sure to reduce watering during the cold season as, like most plants, the Banana plant does not like to be overwatered. Mist or wipe down the leaves with a damp cloth to clean them and promote shiny foliage.

Temperature Preferences

Temperature Preferences

Does well at or slightly warmer than room temperature (between 60°F - 77°F). Cold temperatures or rooms with strong drafts should be avoided.

Humidity Tolerance

Humidity Tolerance

Prefers higher levels of humidity, around 75% or above. Use a humidifier or occasionally mist the plant to increase humidity.

Repotting Needs

Repotting Needs

The plant can live happily in the provided pot for about four months before it is ready to be repotted. Repot using a rich, well-draining soil that is rocky and has lava sand. You can also add a layer of organic mulch over the top of the soil to help it retain moisture and to provide additional nutrients for the plant. When your plant is ready to be repotted, you can follow our simple how-to guide.

Unhealthy Plant Signs

Unhealthy Plant Signs

The Banana Plant's leaves are very delicate and may be damaged if not handled with care. Drooping leaves may be a sign of under or overwatering, or lack of sunlight. Brown edges indicate a lack of water or humidity.
