banana tree indoors Aug 6, 2007 10:13 AM

The leaves do have dark spots the more time it is in the sun, but I wouldn't say it is ruining the leaves. It may cause it to grow faster. My Banana plant is growing pretty quickly, but there is some coloration on the leaves when it gets a lot of sun. The lower leaves die as the upper leaves continue to come onto the new plant.

I love my new banana plant. It seems like it is doing well. I do need a fertilizer. Does anyone on the site know of a place to purchase good fertilizers for the banana plants? Thanks, Paul Ogle

Sour Cactus, Hey I noticed someone said to use salt. Most of the time salt is bad for most plants. I'm not sure about using salt. I have heard that you need a nitrogen, Potassium one to one ratio. I'm not sure, experienced members can chime in and help. Salt has sodium and chlorine. It doesn't usually have potassium. So, I'm not sure what kind of salt the other person is talking about. I wouldn't try it. Someone posted this on another thread. The administrator says a balanced fertilizer of any kind will work. Replying to (Quoting): Posted By: ibrahim on Jan 31, 2005 11:17 AM Message: banana plant needs to be fertilized. every plant needs (about): 300 g of N (nitrogen), 800 to 1200 g of K (potassium), 50 g of P(phosphorus), 50 g of Magnesium, 80 grams of Ca. these are the macro elements. make sure to convert to the pure form of the element when you do the calcultions when you fertilize. and you have to have these elements on the growing season, like the time you usually irrigate your bananas. example, if you irrigate 50 times, divide the amount you want to add by 50, but try to increase the K application before flower stage. but these are all rough estimates, you can be more acurate when you do soil analysis. Because soil texture and soil nutrient contant variest from place to another. bye bob Paul Ogle

Thank you for your help. I bought a dwarf banana plant. I think it said it would possibly grow to be 8 feet tall. I'm not sure how long that will take, or how fast I will have to keep transplanting it. It is about 10 to 12 inches right now in a 12 inch pot. It was 8 to 10 inches about 3 weeks ago. I try to give it at least 9 hours of direct sunlight and 3 hours of indirect light. I am moving it in the house and outside the house to regulate the temperature and the lighting. I'm sure it isn't the best, but I want to make sure it grows and does well. Paul Ogle

I have read in a few places that the banana tree dies after it finally produces bananas. Is this true? Why and also, what is the minimum amount of time they need sunlight to grow well? Paul Ogle
