It ensures that the soil retains sufficient moisture during periods of high temperature and intense sunlight. Banana roots are highly vulnerable to the soil that is too damp. Keeping an eye out for extra water is especially important in colder, wetter climes. If you give your banana plants too much water, it can hurt them badly.
