How to Grow a Banana Tree from Scratch: Step-by-Step Guide
Hey guys! Today we’re going to bring some tropical foliage into the garden. I’ll show you how to grow a banana tree from scratch. Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through each phase.
- Preparation of Onion Broth: Let’s start by preparing the broth. Set the onions aside as we prepare the onion broth. A useful hack is to store onions in a nylon stocking to ensure freshness.
- Cooking the Onion Broth: While the broth cools, let’s collect two aloe leaves. Aloe juice has bactericidal properties that protect plants and help develop strong, healthy roots.
- Preparation of Banana: Cut a banana from the bunch, making sure to leave the banana’s neck intact. Soak the banana in the onion broth for 10 minutes to absorb the microelements.
- Soil Preparation: While the banana soaks, prepare the soil. Cut the soil bag crosswise for easy opening and pour it into a medium-sized plant pot.
- Planting the Banana: After soaking, rub the banana with aloe juice and plant it in the pot. Press the soil firmly around the banana to secure it in place.
- Care and Maintenance: Cover the pot with a bag or cellophane to create a greenhouse effect and remember to water the banana regularly to keep the soil moist.
- Replanting in a Larger Pot: After about a month, when the banana has sprouted, replant it in a larger pot. Be sure to handle the roots carefully and keep the soil moist.
- Growth and Development: Over the next few months, watch as your banana tree grows and develops. Remember to water it regularly and provide it with a suitable environment for growth.
After about three months, you should have your very own fully grown banana tree! Remember, bananas are fast-growing plants and can reach their full height in about nine months. Enjoy your new banana tree and the tropical vibe it brings to your garden!
