I have a banana plant that needs some fertilizer. Has anyone used this and had success with there banana?

www.WellspringGardens.com. Look up Banana Fuel. It's the only thing I use for my banana plants.

Negligible on all three counts. It's not about "fertilizing" the plants. It's about the hormonal effects that seaweed has on plants. I use it on Stag Horn ferns, all of my orchids and various other plants such as those in hanging baskets. If you use Seaweed or Kelp, don't omit the fertilization. It's not meant to be used in place of a good fertilizer. Any decent fertilizer will include all the minerals and trace elements you need. The end result is more robust roots. (The better the roots are...the better the uptake of nutrients...the healthier the plant) 1 TBSP per Gal is good. Use once a month.

An excellent question, K. Corn. Your banana size, unfortunately, will be limited by the case, but as they say, it's not the size but what you do with it that really matters.

I never premix any fertilizer.... I mix what I need and use. Hope that helps you.

I have not used this on bananas, only olives, strawberries and mushrooms it works great on these.

I never have used it for that plant, but I would think it would be a wonderful fertilizer for any plant. I use it for everything else. It's my favorite (besides the horse manure of course).

I have not used this for banana bread, as bananas are taboo in my house (hubby doesn't like them). But everything else I've tried with it works great. Hit Bob's red Mill website for a banana bread recipe. I bet they have one

Absolutely. Best choices for them. Google blueberry fertilizer and you will see it is preferred option. Careful on the name though, there are poor alternatives that have very similar names.

Yes. I use it in citrus, grapes, plums, and figs with great results. Last year I had bumper crops of figs and plums with these fertilizer spikes. I just applied it again on my fruit trees this past weekend. Follow the instructions in the package...and happy harvest. My grape vines are young. Last year I had a small crop. This year the vines are loaded.

If you use the big chunky perlite it will work great. Btw, by itself perlite is considered a hydroponic substrate. One Ive had good success with

It worked well with homemade fertilizer, which I assume is much thicker than liquid cleaner. I put a PVC pipe in the bucket I was siphoning from so I could make sure the liquid was siphoned off. When I noticed the level was not dropping, I increased the flow of the nozzle.

Specifically I purchased it originally for my orchids. I now water all my plant with the fertilizer about every 3 or 4 waterings. I water my plants approximately once a week.

Yes. I did mine and they did much better. Just be sure that they get plenty of sunshine where you put them. All palms are tropical and if they don't get the sunshine most of the time no fertilizer will help that much.

I haven't tried, but my guess would be no. This unit has 3 thin oval slots that very effectively release fertilizer.

I have. Make sure you do it in between bananas or it will all come out in a puff :)

I've personally never tried it on a green plantain, however, I have tried it on an orange, green bell pepper, an unripe banana and of course the typical fruits and veggies you'd peel with a peeler. This is the real deal. I love it!

I have grown the same species for several months outside in pots in the New Orleans area. I think that you may need to water it more often. Bananas need a lot of sun and moist, well drained soil. I hope that you have holes in the bottom of your pot. In the past, I grew Cavendish bananas. They grew faster but are less cold hardy. Good Luck!
