Musa velutina, also known as the pink dwarf banana, is an exotic, decorative plant characterised by its eye-catching, pink-coloured fruit and tropical appearance. It belongs to the banana family (Musaceae) and is a real rarity for indoor and outdoor areas. Its up to 1.5 metre high, green leaves lend a tropical flair to any room or garden. The soft, velvety banana fruits are not only beautiful to look at, but also edible, albeit full of small seeds.

- The eye-catching pink fruits are the hallmark of this banana plant. Although they are edible, they contain many hard seeds that make them difficult to eat. Nevertheless, they are a decorative highlight.
- This plant often flowers after just one year, making it an ideal houseplant for lovers of exotic species.
- Its compact growth habit makes it perfect for smaller gardens, balconies or as a potted plant indoors.

Musa velutina prefers a bright location with indirect light. It can also be placed outdoors in summer, but should be protected from direct midday sun to avoid leaf burn. In cooler temperatures, a place indoors or in a greenhouse is ideal.
