Mix in 10–20% Banana Bloom with your favorite soil. A little goes a long way! It's more effective than peat moss or coconut coir, so you’ll need less to see better results.

We repurpose the trunks of banana trees—an agricultural byproduct from one of the most commonly grown crops in the world. The trunks are pressed to remove moisture, naturally dried in the sun, and then shredded into fine fibers. This not only reduces waste but also helps farmers get more value from each harvest.

Unlike coconut coir, which requires heavy water use and chemical processing, Banana Bloom is made through a clean, low-impact method.

No, Banana Bloom isn’t a fertilizer. While it adds organic matter and some natural nutrients, its main purpose is to improve soil structure, water retention, and root health. For best results, use it alongside your preferred fertilizer.

Banana Bloom is designed to absorb and slowly release water, making overwatering less likely. It holds moisture without getting soggy, helping protect roots from rot. That said, it's still important to water according to your plant’s needs.

Every plant has different needs, but with Banana Bloom, you can typically water 20% less than usual. It holds onto moisture and releases it slowly, so your soil stays hydrated longer—saving you time, water, and effort.

Banana Bloom is designed to retain water and protect roots—but like anything, too much can throw off the balance. Using more than 20% may limit airflow and reduce beneficial microbial growth that plants rely on to absorb nutrients. For healthy, thriving soil, blend Banana Bloom with other components that support drainage, structure, and biology.

Yes, Banana Bloom’s natural anti-fungal properties and balanced water retention help prevent root rot, mold, and mildew. It’s especially helpful for new plant owners, since it protects roots even when watering isn’t perfect.

No, Banana Bloom has a neutral pH of 7. It won’t disrupt the balance of your soil mix and is safe to use with any combination of soil and amendments.

Yes—Banana Bloom helps keep soil loose and porous. It won’t compact over time, allowing roots to grow freely and water to drain properly. That said, we still recommend combining it with other well-draining materials for optimal airflow and structure.
