Bananas are tropical plants, but there is a way to grow them in your Melbourne backyard: enter the Dwarf Cavendish! A beautiful compact banana plant, given the right conditions it can produce heavy crops of full sized, sweet bananas with a creamy texture, around 12 to 15 months from planting.
As the the Dwarf Cavendish only reaches a height of around 1.5 to 2 meters (5 to 6.5 feet), it suitable for smaller gardens or containers and large pots also. It needs a sunny location with well-draining soil. Provide regular watering and ensure good soil fertility for optimal growth.
While it can handle cooler temperatures, your Dwarf Cavendish may require some protection during severe frosts. Mulching around the base of the plant can help insulate the roots.
Want delicious bananas that you grew yourself? These are a perfect choice.
8" pot size. | "Life on the Rocks" is a unique, low-maintenance indoor plant range where plants like Elk horn or Schefflera (Umbrella Tree) grow directly on porous volcanic rock instead of potting mix. The rock absorbs water from the dish below, delivering moisture to the roots and even encouraging moss to grow, creating a natural, bonsai-like look—no pruning, training, or repotting required.
Care: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Simply fill the tray with water and let the rock do the rest.
Pro Tip: Just add water—no fuss, no mess.
