Musa Watering

Also called the "banana plant," Musa is a tropical showstopper. Did you know there are 83 different species? All of them have the potential to produce bananas or plantains under the right (tropical) conditions! These plants love a bit of attention when it comes to water. Give them a drink when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, making sure the soil is well-draining so it stays moist but never soggy.

Watering needs will shift with the seasons: brighter, warmer months call for more frequent watering, while winter slows things down. And always let excess water escape the pot — root rot is the one thing a Musa won’t forgive. Treat it right, and your banana plant will reward you with lush, tropical vibes.
