Bananas have a pH level of around 5 to 5.3 when ripe. Typically, fruits are considered acidic if they sit at a pH level of 4.6 or lower. Banana Acidity: Where Fruit Sits on pH Scale Different ...

If the level isn’t right, the plants might become stunted, discolored, burnt or may not produce flowers or fruit, says Krystal Snyder, a horticultural educator with Penn State Extension.

We’ve all heard the age-old adage – “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Bananas, too, have long reigned as the go-to fruit for energy, thanks to their rich potassium, fiber, and vitamin content.

They produce fruit much faster than when grown in soil. They do require 10-12 hours of sunlight per day, and the temperature should be a moderate 68 F to 70 F, with pH measuring 5.5 to 6.5.
