In this article you can find all the information about the Musella lasiocarpa - Chinese Lotus Banana, how to best care for it when it gets its flowers and of course how fast it grows.

The Chinese Lotus Banana is a heavy drinker

Plants generally consist mainly of water, and the Chinese Lotus banana consists of no less than 80% water! So it is not surprising that he also likes an extra sip in sunny conditions. In the summer he wants much more water than in the winter, and he wants it every day, while in the winter he only needs water once a week. But it is important that he does not get too much water, because that can be harmful to the roots. So make sure that he gets as much water as the soil can absorb. And of course that also depends on the size of the pot and the amount of soil around the roots. It is a sign of receiving too little water when the leaves hang limp. Then it is time to water again, and as much as possible within the absorption capacity of the soil.
