Soil TypeRich, well-drained soil.
Banana plant leaves are huge—depending on the variety, they can be up to 2 feet wide and 9 feet long. Banana plants have a generally irregular shape.Bananas form in late summer in a cluster

Light
Most types of bananas plants prefer full sun. Some variegated varieties can scorch easily and will do better in partial shade.

Soil
The soil should be well-drained, deep, and organically amended. Slightly acidic soil (5.5 to 6.5 pH) is preferred.

Water
Since banana trees are tropical and hail from rain forests, they need a lot of water and plenty of moisture in the air. They do best when planted in groups rather than as single specimens. Being close together helps them retain moisture in the leaves. Provide 1 or 2 inches of water weekly and check frequently to make certain the soil stays evenly moist. Make sure they are not over-watered so you do not get root rot. The soil should be moist but not soggy at all times, if possible.

Temperature and Humidity
Bananas thrive in warm, humid conditions, but protect plants against temperature extremes as much as possible. Even very hardy, cold tolerant banana plants like consistent temperatures ranging between 75 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Banana trees will grow in containers but need at least 15-gallon pots as the minimum size for optimum growth. When it is in a container, you can have complete control over the plant's environment. You should be able to protect it better in cold and inclement weather.

These are very hungry and thirsty plants and you may find it difficult to keep up with the feeding and watering requirements when growing them in pots
