The growth of this banana tree is very fast, once installed it will easily reach a height of 3 to 4 meters in height from its second year, it develops a huge foliage certainly bringing an exotic effect to your garden.
Musa Basjoo banana tree cultivation is very conceivable in a pot of at least 10 liters and in a mixture of ordinary potting mix mixed with large gravel to constitute a well draining substrate, in summer the banana tree is greedy for water, do not hesitate to watering it frequently by providing a universal fertilizer from April to September 2x a month, it will give it a lush appearance and vigorous growth.
