Bananas Brindando Re: question about growing bananas in pots

Biggest risk of growing in pots is the soil drying out especialy in very hot weather, so check the soil and make sure it is moist down about 2 inches. I use large 10 gallon pots with a lot of compost mixed into the soil and after planting mulch heavily with about 2-3 inches of finely shreddedd oak leaves. The pots should be watered daily and in temps above 90 checked in the afternoon and watered as needed. All this being said the plants should grow well in pots.
