As much light as you can give it, heat, plenty of fertilizer and keep it moist

Aawww I loves them!! I can't wait till my pink and Florida get this size. They do love a fertilizer 😆

Just what I dreamed of.. Wow!  
Any help as I get started is much appreciated!

#### Ryan replied on 2025-01-17

Well draining fertile soil, warmth, plenty of sunlight, keep it moist and fertilize regularly and you’ll be ok

#### Kumar replied on 2025-01-17

Cool.. How did you get started .. like seeding?  
What kind? And fertilizer too.. any specific kind.. lights? Any specific brand?  
Sorry for all these questions..  
Love to have your blueprint!

You can’t really grow bananas from seed. Best starting off with a pup cut off a mother or you can just buy a small banana plant and start there. You want a full spectrum light with some decent wattage. I use a 16-8-24 fertilizer
