DESCRIPTION:
Banana trees are tropical and originate in rainforests, so they need a lot of water and plenty of moisture in the air. Banana plant houseplants require frequent feeding, especially during their active growth in warm weather. Whether you keep your banana leaf plant indoors year-round or bring it outside during the warm months, it’s going to need a good amount of water.
How do you care for a banana palm tree?
Banana trees are tropical and originate in rainforests, so they need a lot of water and plenty of moisture in the air. They do best when planted in groups fairly close together, as this helps to retain moisture in the leaves. Water regularly to make sure the soil stays evenly moist but not soggy.
Most banana trees prefer full sun, although a few varieties with variegated leaves will need a bit of shade to prevent leaf scorch.

How long does a banana tree live?
about six years
Banana trees live for about six years, but each stem only lives long enough to produce fruit. After picking the fruit, the stem will die and a new one will grow from the rhizome to give you your next round of bananas.
