Down here, you plant 'em in the right spot...they take over. Sounds good to me.

Just like you're thinkin', create a bit o' drainage for 'em with gravel and maybe a bit o' sand. Cheers and Happy Bananas...Mr. Ooga

All bananas love full to partial sun and generous amounts of water and fertile soil. ..essential to have good drainage... soil should be slightly moist not soggy. Careful monitoring of water is a must in the rooting stage to avoid rotting....
