How to protect a Musa 'Da Jiao' from frost / Winter
When the cold gets below -5 degrees Celsius, protection is necessary for the survival of a Musa 'Da Jiao'. This is done by wrapping fleece (a well breathing thin cloth) around the canopy of leaves so that the wind is blocked. We do not recommend placing the Da Jiao in the field, but always in a pot so that the plant can enter at extreme temperatures.
When the Musa waters 'Da Jiao'?
When the Musa 'Da Jiao' is outside it needs little water during the cold days, but during the hot days of summer it needs water every day, sometimes twice on the hottest days. In between, it can be once every 2-4 days, depending on the temperature. You can feel this from the soil. If the soil is fairly moist, the banana plant still has enough water.
What kind of land does the Musa 'Da Jiao' want?
A Musa 'Da Jiao' loves good nutrient soil. For example, you can spoil the root ball with a bag of Florentus Mediterranean nutrient soil, specially developed for Mediterranean plants such as the Musa 'Da Jiao'.
How to prune / cut a Musa 'Da Jiao'?
For a Musa 'Da Jiao' it is a natural thing that leaves become dry and die off. You can simply cut them off close to the trunk. The banana plant does not suffer from this. It is also often recommended to cut off the leaves before the winter so that the energy does not go there to grow, because new leaves will appear in the new year.
When the Musa puts 'Da Jiao' inside?
The Musa 'Da Jiao' can withstand the hot sun well, so in summer it doesn't have to go inside. It also can withstand rain, so in autumn and spring and rainy days of summer it doesn't have to go inside either. But, at -5 frost it gets heavy, so it needs to be protected, or taken to a warmer place.
Why does a Musa 'Da Jiao' get yellow leaves?

Where to buy a Musa 'Da Jiao'?
We have a very simple answer to this question. Teeninga Palmen is a specialist in hardy Mediterranean plants and trees, and offers them for the lowest price and the highest quality, so the choice is easy!
Our plant sizes are determined by measuring the smallest plants up until the largest in a field with hundreds of plants. Because a plant is a natural product, it's possible a plant is a little smaller than the mentioned minimum size.
This deviation is 10cm maximum. In our guidelines we keep a margin of max. 10cm regarding the minimum size.
Note: when you order a plant that doesn't stay green in the winter, it's probably (when ordered during the winter months or the beginning spring season) smaller than the minimum size. This is not a problem in any case, because the plant will grow new branches or leaves and the minimum height will be reached within a short period. Your order will have the right size within a short time.
