Banana Growth Environmental Conditions and Characteristics

Banana Growth Environmental Conditions and Requirements

Bananas are native to China and have a very long history of cultivation in our country. The plants prefer a high temperature and humid growing environment and require sufficient light during the growing period. They are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world.

Banana growing temperature

Bananas prefer a warm growing environment. The most suitable growth temperature is 24-32℃, and the minimum germination temperature is 15℃. The plant is very afraid of freezing. When the temperature is below 10℃, the leaves will be damaged by freezing and turn yellow.

Banana growth humidity

Bananas do not have strict requirements for water during their growth. An average monthly rainfall of around 100 mm is most suitable. The plants like a humid environment, but water cannot be accumulated in the soil.

Banana growing soil

Bananas have delicate roots and are quite demanding on soil. They prefer loose, deep, well-drained soil and are most afraid of heavy clay or poorly drained soil.

Banana growth cycle and process

The growth cycle of bananas is about 2-3 months. The plant's growth will go through stages such as budding, vegetative growth, flowering, and maturity. After entering the fruiting period, the plant's nutrition begins to weaken, and the leaves will quickly turn yellow and age.
