Native to tropical rainforests, scarlet banana is a vibrant ornamental with fiery red inflorescences and elongated leaves. Regular pruning is essential to maintain shape, remove dead foliage, and promote healthy growth. Prune old and damaged leaves, as well as spent flower stalks after blooming. The ideal time for pruning is during Spring and Summer for rejuvenation, and selective trimming can be done in Fall. Pruning encourages bushier growth, enhances flowering, and prevents disease by improving air circulation within scarlet banana's foliage.
