Dwarf Cavendish banana

The dwarf edible banana prefers a warm, sunny to very bright and wind-protected location. It requires high humidity and should be watered regularly, with the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged.

An ideal soil is humus-rich, nutrient-rich, and very well-draining, with a slightly acidic pH value of approximately 5.5 to 6.5. Good nutrient supply is important for rapid growth and reliable fruit production.

Under optimal conditions, it bears edible and sweet fruit after about 1.5 to 3 years. The plant remains relatively compact, usually reaching a height of about 1.5 to 2.5 meters.
