The epsom is for the palms mostly, and for mineral liking flowering bushes. One tablespoon in a gallon of water. Bananas want lots of nitrogen and water. Good draining soil. I mix 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 sand and 1/3 regular yard dirt to fill in when I plant the bananas and water daily. If you are feeding and watering right, you'll get a new leaf every 5-7 days. Lots of sun too of course. Right now I have hardy Musa Basjoos, and not so hardy Abbyssinian and Blood bananas. |
