WHO'S

THIS

Guy?

Hi, I'm Musa!

I am a Musa Dwarf Cavendish, or a Banana plant. I have very large green leaves with purple spots. This makes me a very special eye-catcher. Would you like to welcome jungle vibes into your home? Choose me, I'll take care of that!

By now I can be found in a lot of places because of my fruits, but originally I come from Southeast Asia. Here I can grow as tall as 7 meters! I won't reach this in your living room, but make no mistake. I am a fast grower with my large leaves and can grow at least 2 meters high in the house!

Where should you place me?

I'm not the most difficult, as long as you put me in a place where I get enough light! Be careful with direct sunlight, though. This can sometimes be too much to handle.

What do I like?

Please give me very regular sips of lukewarm water, because I drink a lot, especially in summer! Twice a month I find a little fertilizer in the growing season most welcome.

Adopt Rainforest

Plantanious works together with the Work with Nature foundation. Our tropical rainforests are disappearing at a rapid pace and an enormous biodiversity is being lost along with the trees. If it were up to us, the jaguar would soon walk around again in the rainforest in Costa Rica protected by 'Adopt Rainforest'! The place where many of our special plants originate. In order to make an important contribution to the goal of the foundation - to protect 2,000 hectares of rainforest in the next ten years - we donate part of our turnover to protect part of the tropical rainforest. To achieve their goal, the foundation puts money into protection, conservation, reforestation, education and research.
