🍌 ‘Raja Puri’ (Rajapuri) Banana Plant

A compact, sturdy fruiting banana well suited to container growing.

Why choose this variety?

Raja Puri stands out for its thick pseudostem, relatively compact habit and good wind resistance. It may flower quickly when warmth, light and root space are excellent.

• Compact habit for a fruiting banana.
• Thick pseudostem and good wind tolerance.
• Broad leaves for an immediate tropical effect.
• Sweet dessert fruit.

Banana flavour

Ripe bananas are sweet and pleasant for fresh eating. Full ripeness improves aroma and texture.

How to keep the plant more compact in a container

• Repot gradually instead of moving directly into an oversized container.
• Limit the final container size reasonably, recognizing that this can reduce fruit production.
• Provide abundant light, avoid excess nitrogen and remove unnecessary suckers.

Important: do not cut the top off the pseudostem to reduce height; this removes its growing point.

Growing in Quebec and other cold-winter regions

• Light: full sun or a very bright location, ideally 6 to 8 hours or more.
• Temperature: optimal growth between 20 and 32°C (68 to 90°F); bring indoors before temperatures fall below 10°C (50°F).
• Watering: keep the growing medium slightly moist during active growth without standing water.
• Growing medium: rich, airy and very well draining.
• Fertilization: feed regularly during active growth.
