The Dwarf Cavendish is the perfect banana plant variety for growing as a houseplant in the UK. Too tender to spend the year outdoors, this banana named after William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, was first brought to his greenhouses in the 1800s.

Reaching a maximum height of 3m, the dwarf Musa likes bright light and misting.

Best space & place

They thrive in bright indirect light, but can handle some shade and direct sun. Adjust watering according to light conditions.

Watering & feeding

They like the soil to remain moist but not soggy in the summer. Reduce watering in winter. 

Need to know

Its big leaves are prone to tearing, which is totally natural and part of making way for new leaves which grow very quickly. 

Pollutant Absorption Credentials

The Banana Plant has been shown to help remove formaldehyde from the air, which can be given off by building materials, synthetic fabrics, and furniture. Just moved into a new-build house? Then this plant is for you!

      For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

      For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

      Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
