☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect to bright filtered light

• Enjoys gentle morning or late-afternoon sun

• Avoid harsh midday sun — can scorch tender leaves

💧 Water

• Keep soil consistently moist, especially during active growth

• Allow the top 2–3 cm to dry slightly before watering again

• Use a rich, well-draining mix (soil + perlite + bark)

• Drooping leaves = needs water

• Mushy stems = overwatering

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–85%)

• Higher humidity encourages larger leaves and faster growth

• Low humidity can cause browning edges

🌡️ Temperature

• Warmth-loving! Ideal range: 20–32°C

• Sensitive to cold — never below 15°C

• Protect from drafts and big temperature swings

🍽️ Feeding

• Heavy feeder during growing season

• Fertilize every 2–4 weeks in spring & summer

• Use a balanced or banana-friendly fertilizer

• Pause feeding in winter

🌱 Growth Tips

• Fast-growing when warm, bright, and humid

• Large leaves naturally tear — normal for bananas

• Rotate weekly for even colour and shape

• Not pet-safe

• Repot yearly to support rapid growth
