Hi All,
New to this website.
Received 2 baby banana plants through Amazon. About 5" high.
Question 1 - Looking for banana plant fertilizer, the recommendation is 15-5-30. Where in Mesa, Chandler, Tempe area is it sold? Or something similar?
Question 2 - I would also like to taste a Blue Java Banana - is it sold anywhere in the Phoenix metro area?

Thanks for your help,

You don't need any fertilizer so specific for a banana. Just go to your local store and find the closest you can get. I don't fertilize my banana much at all these days and I still get at least 2 crops a year. Keep in mind, don't fertilizer in winter and I also don't water a banana in winter. Bananas a very suspectible to root rot if kept too wet when its cold out.

Hi phoenixtropicals,
Thanks for the reply. My 2 little guys put out 2 new leaves each since I received them back in Dec. They are potted indoors under a grow lite for 10 hrs a day. So far so good. Razz
