How to grow banana and what to pay attention to

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for its development is around 20 degrees. It can withstand high temperatures but not cold temperatures. Therefore, it is mostly planted in the south. If it needs to be planted in the north, it is best to plant it in a greenhouse. The survival rate of outdoor planting is not high, and because of the temperature, the taste of the fruit of the plants planted in the north will not be particularly good.

2. Watering: It does not like humid environments, and it does not grow well in dry environments. It is very picky about its growing environment. Generally, it needs to be watered once every one to two days in hot summer, once every three to four days in autumn, and once every half a month in winter. If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, you need to spray water mist on the branches and leaves to cool it down.

3. Fertilization: Before planting it, you need to add enough base fertilizer to the soil. The base fertilizer can be bean cake, compound fertilizer, compost, etc. During the growing season, the demand for nutrients is relatively large, so it needs to be fertilized once a month. Winter is not its growing season, so no fertilizer is needed.

4. Light: It is a sun-loving plant and can receive full-day sunlight regardless of the season.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Repotting: It has a relatively large demand for nutrients, so it needs to be repotted every once in a while. When repotting, the rotten branches at the roots must be cleaned up before replanting it in new potting soil.

2. Pruning: Generally, it does not require pruning. After each harvest, the dead branches and leaves should be pruned to concentrate the nutrients. The pruned cuts should not be exposed to water for the time being. You should wait until the cuts are dry before watering normally.

3. Problem Diagnosis

1. Yellow leaves: The symptoms of yellow leaf disease in plants are that the branches and leaves gradually turn yellow and no longer grow. In this case, the yellow leaves need to be pruned off in time, but do not prune too much to avoid affecting the ornamental value.

2. The fruit is not ripe: The fruit of the plant is not ripe, which may be caused by insufficient light. At this time, it is necessary to increase the amount of light to promote the ripening of the fruit.

IV. Other issues

1. Edibility: Its fruit can be eaten directly, but it must be eaten when it is fully ripe. The peel can be used as medicine and can also be used to make homemade facial masks, which has a whitening effect.

2. Can it be grown at home: It can be grown at home, but if it has not been processed, it cannot be grown because its plant body is too tall and it is very inconvenient to grow it at home. However, plants that have been potted can be grown at home.
