🍌 Banana ‘Mona Lisa’ (FHIA-02) — Vigorous, Reliable, High Yield Potential (Great for Greenhouses)

10” pot (24–48”)

‘Mona Lisa’ (FHIA-02) is a well-known hybrid banana prized for its strong growth, lush tropical leaves, and excellent production potential when given warmth, light, and a properly sized container. It’s a favorite for greenhouse and sunroom growing because it responds extremely well to regular feeding and stable warmth—making it a solid choice for anyone wanting a banana plant that’s both ornamental and potentially fruiting.

Highlights

• Hybrid vigor — fast, strong growth in warm conditions

• Great yield potential with proper heat/light and feeding

• Big tropical look — large, lush leaves for an instant jungle vibe

• Excellent greenhouse plant — thrives with consistent warmth

• Container-friendly — grows very well in large, well-drained pots

Quick Care

• Mature height (depending on conditions): ~8–12 ft (2.4–3.5 m)

• Light: Full sun to very bright light (6–8+ hours ideal)

• Water: Regular; keep evenly moist but never waterlogged

• Fertilizer: During active growth, feed often (ex: balanced/high-N); increase potassium (K) as it matures

• Temperature: Ideal 72–90°F (22–32°C); avoid below 50–55°F (10–13°C)

• Flowering/Fruiting: Often 12–18+ months in optimal greenhouse conditions (heat + light + large pot)

Pro Tips

Use a well-draining mix, a drainage hole pot, and up-pot as it grows—bigger root space usually means faster growth and better fruiting potential. Indoors, aim for 40–60% humidity if possible.
