It loves humidity and warmth, growing fastest in USDA Zones 9b–11, but can be grown in containers and overwintered indoors in cooler zones. Provide protection from strong winds to prevent leaf tearing and stalk damage. Mulch well to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilize regularly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support rapid growth and fruit production. Propagation is typically done by separating pups from the mother plant once established.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sow Exotic","offers":[{"title":"Medium Coconut Coir Pot","offer_id":52258692694299,"sku":"C3-BAN-MAH-M","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"X-Large Burlap Pot","offer_id":52258692727067,"sku":"BAN-MAH-XL","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1026\/6132\/5083\/files\/doublemahoibanana.png?v=1779763888","url":"https:\/\/eldergroveexotics.com\/products\/banana-dwarf-double-mahoi-musa-acuminata","provider":"Eldergrove Exotics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
