Q.Dwarf Banana Tree Roots Are Coming To The Surface And Poking Out Of The Dirt.

Zone 33569 | Anonymous added on March 26, 2022 | Answered

I’ve had this plant outside in my yard in FL and it’s never really done well at all. Should I maybe dig it up and just keep it in a pot? It’s still really small. Now the roots are coming to the surface and poking out. Advise me please on what to do.

Do you know what is causing the roots to come to the surface? Are you watering deeply? If you are only surface watering, it could be the roots are searching for water. Try watering them deeply about once a week, which will encourage deep roots.

They do prefer moist soil, but it must be well-draining. Make sure it is sited in a well-draining location. Here is more:
