Overview

  • The tropical banana plant (Musa oriental dwarf) is prized for its slow growth, dense foliage and need for warmth above 13°C.
  • Yimbly and Amazon each offer four-plant bundles priced between £36.95 and £41.95, with Yimbly providing free shipping for first-time orders.
  • Enthusiasts place the plants outdoors in warm weather but bring them indoors before frost to protect their leaves.
  • Customer feedback is mixed, with many praising robust health and new growth while others report arriving with broken stems.
  • Alternative options include YouGarden’s £39.99 trio houseplant collection and B&Q’s Livistona Palm from £44.99.
