Exposure & location
The banana plant loves light and warmth. It develops broader and denser foliage when it receives good brightness.
- Light: bright indirect or a few hours of gentle sun per day.
- Location: near an east or south-facing window.
- Outdoor: ideal on a sheltered terrace or balcony during the warm season.
Verdeia tip: rotate your banana plant weekly to encourage even and balanced growth.
Watering & care
The Musa Oriental Dwarf likes slightly moist soil and a mild atmosphere. A good balance between humidity and drainage ensures vibrant and healthy foliage.
- Frequency: water once a week, when the soil starts to dry on the surface.
- Drainage: avoid stagnant water in the saucer or planter cover.
- Humidity: mist the foliage regularly, especially during heating periods.
- Fertilizer: add green plant fertilizer every 15 to 30 days in spring and summer.
Verdeia advice: if the leaf edges brown, slightly increase misting or move the plant away from a heat source.
Verdeia tips
Here are some simple recommendations to keep your Musa Oriental Dwarf in perfect health and prolong its tropical beauty:
- Temperature: maintain an environment between 18 and 28 °C; avoid prolonged exposure below 12 °C.
- Repotting: every 2 years, in a slightly larger pot with rich and well-drained soil.
- Foliage: clean the leaves with a soft damp cloth to promote photosynthesis and preserve their natural shine.
- Air: avoid cold drafts and thermal shocks that can damage the leaves.
- Outdoor: take it outside during the warm season, gradually acclimating it to direct light.
- Style: for balanced decor, pair your Musa with decorative pots made of natural materials (jute, rattan, artisanal ceramic).
These simple actions allow your banana plant to maintain its majestic appearance and bring a lasting touch of escape to your living space.
