I have a banana plant, that I keep indoors for most of the year as it is in a pot. Howerver, it is getting much too large for it's present pot and needs repotting, what type of soil/compost do I need to use, and can I remove the several small plants growing at the base and pot them up individually?

Hi Flower, Bananas need a soil based compost. Keep moist at all times and around 60 degrees. When repotting remove offshoots and pot up individually. cheers skylight. ps have you had any bananas yet?

Cheers Skylight,
Do I take it that an ordinary - non peat - compost might be OK?
As for the bananas - only in my mental state! LOL
Hi again Flower, John Innes No 3 will do the job rightly. cheers Skylight
