How to Grow Bananas

Planting bananas is a bit easy. Some tips on planting bananas include:

Selecting the planting site: you have to select the site that is warm in temperature.

Bring out your planting material and start digging a hole. Dig a hole twice as wide and deep as the banana plant root ball.

Put the banana plant in that hole and fill it back with soil, then water thoroughly to settle the plant.

As the plant began to grow

water and fertilize the banana plant regularly with a balanced fertilizer and stake it to support the weight. You can use a sturdy stake or ties and tie it to avoid felling it so it is mature enough to harvest.
