Growing Musa basjoo (Hardy Banana) Indoors

Musa basjoo survives 20°F outdoors but isn’t necessarily easy indoors. For success:

• Pot: Keep tightly potted in porous mix.
• Light: Directly in front of uncovered north or east window.
• Water: When top inch of soil is dry—never bone-dry, never soggy.
• Humidity & Heat: High humidity and warm temps boost growth.
• Fertilizer: High-nitrogen formula.

It’s a heavy feeder and drinker; consistent care is key.
