About dwarf Cavendish
They now grow all over the world, in places with lots of sun and humidity. This particular species is known as the dwarf Cavendish because it doesn’t grow very tall, maxing out at around 10 feet. It’s unlikely to even get as tall as that as an indoor plant, but it’s still a very large plant. Its leaves are enormous, so it’s a good one for homes with lots of space.
The dwarf Cavendish is a fast grower in the right conditions. It likes a lot of light and will even be happy with some direct sun throughout the day. Let its soil dry out a little between waterings, but make sure to keep it regularly misted as those giant leaves need a lot of moisture. You can help it grow healthily by giving it a feed with liquid fertiliser once per month in spring and summer.
Don’t worry if you ever see tears in its leaves. Because of their size, they can be fairly easy to damage, but it grows so quickly that it will soon replace any broken growth.
Please note that despite the name, this banana tree won’t fruit. You’d need a considerably hotter house for that.

Humidity
Remind her of her jungle home by keeping the humidity high. She loves to be misted regularly.
Bright light
She will be ok in light shade, but she grows best in bright light. She can handle some direct sun.
Regular watering
She likes her soil to stay slightly moist. Water her when the top two inches of soil feel dry.
