My indoor banana tree isn’t even that old (about one year), but it’s growing like crazy in hydro.
One of the cool things about hydro is that pot sizes are less relevant, because the root system is more effective at absorbing water and nutrients compared to soil.
This has resulted in absolutely huge plants compared to their pot.
The only noticeable downside so far has only been the increased watering frequency, but I didn’t notice much stunted growth tbh.
This is (also) why I haven’t repotted yet.
Sadly I noticed, that this resulted in quite a few forgotten waterings and therefore burnt roots.
This was the tree before:
And here it is in the new net pot:
I put this pond basket into a concrete mixing bowl for 5 bucks, which I now painted with acrylic paint :)
It even gave me a few cuttings of baby trees which I gave to friends
My banana tree is, besides the marijuana plants, the fastest growing plant I’ve owned so far.
As soon as there have been a few sunny days, it feels like it has doubled in size.
I wasn’t even able to keep up with watering, because it guzzled up liters of nutrient solution a day.
Still, I love it too!
