Does banana prefer shade or sun?

Banana, also known as Baju and Banana, is a sun-loving plant that is mostly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. The plant prefers a warm, dry and well-lit growing environment and has low requirements for soil.

Does banana like the sun?

Banana likes light. During the growth period, it needs to be exposed to the sun and given sufficient sunlight so that the plant can grow healthily, but it should avoid strong direct sunlight.

Bananas can also be exposed to the sun in summer. More sun exposure will make the plants grow more vigorously, but they must be shaded in time when there is strong light, otherwise they will easily get sunburned.

Is banana tolerant to shade?

Banana is not shade-tolerant. If it is not exposed to sunlight for a long time during the growing period, the leaves of the plant will wither, seriously reducing the ornamental value of the plant.

Banana growing environment

Banana has high requirements for soil and prefers loose, well-drained soil. It can usually be planted in sandy soil. The suitable temperature for the plant's growth is 20℃ and it is not cold-resistant.

Banana does not like moisture and is quite picky about its growing environment. Generally, it needs to be watered once every 1-2 days in summer, once every 3-4 days in spring and autumn, and can be sprayed with water appropriately to keep it moist when the weather is hot.
