The huge, paddle-shaped leaves bring an instant tropical quality that very few other plants can match, and 'Dwarf Cavendish' is compact enough to manage in a large container on a patio or terrace through summer. It's the same variety grown commercially for fruit, though in the UK it's the foliage that's really the main event.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eNative to South and Southeast Asia, banana plants are frost-tender and need bringing indoors before temperatures drop in autumn, to a bright, cool room, conservatory, or greenhouse. In summer, they put on a remarkable amount of growth with good sun and regular feeding. The leaves may tear in the wind, which is completely normal and doesn't affect the plant's health.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil or compost. Water freely through the growing season, reducing significantly in winter. Feed with a high-nitrogen fertiliser through spring and summer to fuel the leaf growth. Move indoors before the first cold nights of autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003cp\u003eDecorative pot not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leaf Envy","offers":[{"title":"80-90cm","offer_id":57953783611776,"sku":"L01731","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0093\/4412\/2980\/files\/musa-edit.jpg?v=1777021623","url":"https:\/\/www.leafenvy.co.uk\/products\/musa-dwarf","provider":"Leaf Envy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
