BANANA

Light:
☀️ Full sun. Banana plants thrive in bright, direct sunlight and need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day to grow and fruit well.

Water:
💧 Water frequently, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Banana plants have high water needs, especially during hot weather, so ensure the soil doesn’t dry out completely.

Soil:
🌱 Well-draining, fertile, and slightly acidic soil. A rich, loamy soil mixed with compost works best.

Temperature:
🌡️ Banana plants prefer warm temperatures between 75°F and 95°F (24°C - 35°C). They are not frost-tolerant and should be protected from cold temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Humidity:
💦 High humidity is preferred, as banana plants are native to tropical climates. If growing indoors, consider using a humidifier or misting the leaves regularly.

Fertilizer:
🌼 Feed with a high-potassium, slow-release fertilizer regularly during the growing season (spring through summer) to support growth and fruit production. Avoid fertilizing in winter when the plant is not actively growing.

Pruning:
✂️ Remove dead or damaged leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and allow for better airflow. Cut back any older stems once the plant has fruited.
