Hi all,
I am excited to join your banana community. I am new to growing a banana plant and I'm sure I'll find lots of info here to help my plant thrive.
I bought a small 4" banana plant at my local grocery store. After doing a little research I think I have identified it as a dwarf cavendish.
I'm really new to this plant and would really appreciate some advice on basic care instructions. I would like to re-plant it into a slightly larger pot. What is a good soil mixture for this guy? I'm thinking a mixture of Miracle Grow moisture control soil (50%), perlite (20%), peat moss (20%), orchid planting mix (10%). Is that good?
What type of fertilizer does it need? How often, if any? Should wait until spring to fertilize?
Thanks kindly,
Roanna
