5. Patience and Care:

– Banana plants are relatively slow-growing, so be patient as you wait for new growth to emerge.
– Monitor the plant for signs of pests or diseases, and take appropriate measures to address any issues promptly.
– As the banana plant grows, consider repotting it into a larger container to accommodate its expanding root system.

About four months after the seedling is born, you begin to see the formation of more leaves that will soon become the plant you want.

After about a year, the banana plant will have reached a height of about 12 centimeters and the leaves will gradually become larger and more robust. Quite a spectacle to follow the evolution of this plant that only requires being watered properly and well cared for.

To reach the age to be placed in free soil, it will take about 3 years.  During growth, there will be times when only the leaves gain strength and spread. Alternate with times when the stem will grow taller. It may happen that the cuttings that we prefer to call children grow together with the mother  plant. These can only be separated when they have taken root.
