How to propagate water banana

Propagation of water banana by dividing bulbs

The main method of propagation of water banana is dividing the bulbs.

The bulb division propagation of the water banana can be carried out in April or May every year in combination with repotting.

When repotting the banana plant, dig out the sphere and then plant the divided spheres. When planting, be careful not to plant too deep, just keep the ball neck level with the ground. The ball can be buried a little deeper. In North China, potted banana is planted in March, and outdoor planting is best done in early May, and must be done after frost.

Propagation of water banana by division

The water banana can also be propagated by division.

As the water banana grows, some small buds will usually grow on the mother plant, and these small buds are used as materials for division. Generally, in spring from February to March, the mother plant of the banana plant is removed from the pot and the soil is removed, and then the small buds beside the mother plant are cut off. The small buds that are cut off are the seed plants and can be planted directly in pots.

The water banana is usually repotted and divided every 3-4 years.

Other ways to propagate water banana

In addition to the propagation methods of bulb division and plant division, there are other propagation methods for water banana.

The water banana can be propagated by sowing, because the water banana can produce seeds after flowering, and the seeds can be used for propagation, but this method is not commonly used.

In addition, water banana can also be cultivated through hydroponics. Hydroponic flowers have their own advantages and can add some fun, so why not do it?

During the hydroponic process of water banana, it should be noted that, except for the soil, the precautions for hydroponic culture of water banana are almost the same as those for soil culture. Therefore, during the hydroponic culture of water banana, you can refer to the soil culture propagation method of water banana.
