Product information

Description

Cavendish Dwarf is a compact variety of the Cavendish banana plant (scientifically known as Musa acuminata). Known for its small stature, this banana plant typically grows to about 3-4 feet tall, making it suitable for indoor and small-space gardening. It features large, broad, glossy green leaves. Care Requirements: Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures (65°F-80°F or 18°C-27°C). Humidity: Enjoys high humidity, which promotes healthy growth. The Cavendish Dwarf is often grown for its ornamental value, though it can produce small bananas in the right conditions. It's non-toxic to pets.

Your plant's pot should have holes in the bottom so it is able to drain water easily.

If reusing a pot that had other plants in it, it is recommended you wash the pot, killing any mould or bacteria

Do not over water your plant as the roots will rot.

Most plants need to be kept by a good source of natural light.

Fertiliser

You should fertilise your plant every two months. You can use all purpose fertiliser.

Any dead or fallen leaves should be removed to prevent bacteria and mould. Dead branches should also be removed.
