Can Your Plants Take the Heat?

It’s summer. The days are long, the sun is scorching, and you’re doing everything you can to stay cool in the A/C. But your garden? It’s left outside to face the heat all day long with no relief.

Whether you’re in the dry Arizona desert or the humid Midwest, the summer sun is relentless. You’ve tried mulch. You’ve tried giving your plants some shade. Maybe you’ve even rigged up your own DIY irrigation system—yet your plants still struggle.

Every plant needs help surviving the summer heat. That's where Banana Bloom comes in.

Harness the Power of the Banana Plant

Banana Bloom is made from the trunks of banana trees that thrive in the blistering sun of the tropics, where 95°F days are the norm. Banana trees have evolved to hold onto water like their lives depend on it—because they do. Their fine, hydrophilic fibers naturally absorb and store moisture, keeping the trunk hydrated as the plant grows. As banana leaves fall, they also enrich the soil below, creating a layer of organic waste that locks in moisture and shields the roots from heat.

When you add Banana Bloom to your soil, you're bringing the natural power of the banana plant right into your own garden. Whether you mix it into the soil or layer it on top, it holds water and slowly releases it back into the root zone—all while insulating the soil from extreme heat. The result? Cooler roots, longer-lasting moisture, and less stress for your plants, even on the hottest days.

Here’s How to Beat the Heat With Banana Bloom:

Create a Surface Layer Crust: Wet some banana bloom and spread it across the base of your plant like a mulch. As it dries, it will naturally form a crust that will protect against the sun and keep your soil cool.

Blend it in: Combine 15–20% Banana Bloom with your soil mix to improve water retention and reduce daily watering. 

Pack it below: Before planting, add a layer of Banana Bloom to the bottom of the hole to create a water-retaining reservoir where the roots need it the most.

Proof in the Desert
