The huge, paddle-shaped leaves bring an instant tropical quality that very few other plants can match, and 'Dwarf Cavendish' is compact enough to manage in a large container on a patio or terrace through summer. It's the same variety grown commercially for fruit - though in the UK, it's the foliage rather than the fruit that's the main event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to South and Southeast Asia, banana plants are frost-tender and need bringing indoors before temperatures drop in autumn - to a bright, cool room, conservatory, or greenhouse. In summer, they put on a remarkable amount of growth with good sun and regular feeding. The leaves may tear in the wind - this is completely normal and doesn't affect the plant's health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil or compost. Water freely through the growing season, reducing significantly in winter. Feed with a high-nitrogen fertiliser through spring and summer to fuel the leaf growth. Move indoors before the first cold nights of autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecorative pot not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beards \u0026 Daisies","offers":[{"title":"80-90cm","offer_id":55534041596280,"sku":"W08123","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8970\/4482\/files\/musa-edit.jpg?v=1776787369","url":"https:\/\/www.beardsanddaisies.co.uk\/products\/musa-dwarf","provider":"Beards \u0026 Daisies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
