Banana plants love full sun, heat, and humidity. Here's a step-by-step guide to growing banana plants in a pot at your home.
Soak the banana seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours. The seed coat will soften, and the embryo will sprout out quickly.
Take a container or a pot and fill it with potting mix soil.
Sow the banana seeds 1⁄4 inch deep and then backfill with compost.
Water the seed until the soil is moist and maintain damp conditions.
Make sure to plant the seeds in a large container with free-draining, good-quality compost.
The time seeds take to germinate depends on the banana variety. It can take anything between 2-3 weeks to 2-3 months.
Fertilize the young plant with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Once mature, fertilize it regularly.
