4. Periodically, it is necessary to loosen the soil around the flower to avoid its drying or overheating.

Choice of soil

The only thing that does not tolerate bahan - it's high humidity and stagnant moisture. Considering the native land of the plant, the flower likes rocky soil, dry (but not over-dried) or medium moisture. Growing in nature, the bahan itself keeps moisture in the soil, thanks to the thick leaves that cover the ground. In the garden, we remove the extra old leaves and prevent the plant from controlling the moisture level itself. Therefore, you need to monitor the watering and do not overdry the land. Badan grows well in the soil with proportions: one part of the turf and two parts of sand and fine stone. As a substrate, a mixture of humus (one third), sand (one third) and loamy soil (one third) is suitable.

Reproduction

Badan can reproduce both with the help of seeds, and with the help of cuttings. If the seed method is chosen, they can be planted in two ways:

• Planting after harvesting. Collecting the seeds, you need to prepare the soil. After digging and leveling the plot, we put the seeds on the soil and sprinkled with a thin layer of earth and sand. With the advent of winter, this area should be covered with leaves. Badan will develop gradually, within two years you need to monitor the seedlings and regularly water them.
• Landing in May. Seeds germinate on average in a couple of weeks. After reaching ten centimeters in length, the banana can be transplanted to the place chosen for permanent cultivation. In four years the plant will already bloom in your garden in full force.

With the cherenkov method, you need to choose the most healthy bushes. In the summer, after flowering, it is necessary to cut off part of the root with leaves and kidneys. Best if there are about three kidneys. Leaves should also be two or three. Cuttings should be planted in a loose ground, placing the roots at a depth of 4 cm from the surface. With proper care, the bean will begin to bloom for the third year.
