Maintenance guide

Musa ‘Siam Ruby’

Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:

Light

Musa ‘Siam Ruby’ thrives in full sun, which enhances the vibrancy of its ruby tones. Place it in a warm, bright, and sheltered location to prevent its large leaves from tearing in the wind.

Watering

Keep soil consistently moist, especially in the warm season, and reduce watering during winter.

Nutrition

Apply liquid fertilizer every two weeks from spring to fall to promote vigorous growth and maintain its flamboyant foliage.

Trim and care

Not hardy, it should be protected or brought indoors once temperatures drop below 10 °C (50 °F).
