Musa "Dwarf Orinoco"

Musa 'Dwarf Orinoco' is a compact banana variety valued for its sturdy growth habit and thick-skinned fruit. It can be grown in the landscape in warm climates or in a large container with enough light and heat.

Care: Provide as much sun and warmth as possible. Outdoors, bananas perform best in full sun; indoors, place in the brightest available location or supplement with strong grow lights. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and feed regularly during active growth.

Container growing: Use a large pot with excellent drainage and a rich, well-draining mix. Protect from frost and cold drafts.

Pet safety: Banana plants are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
