Phase 1: Preparing the Decoction
Gather a large plant pot and onions stored in a nylon stocking.
Place onions with husks intact into the pot.

Phase 2: Making the Onion Husk Broth
Fill a boiling pan with water and add onion husks.
Boil, then remove from heat and let cool.
Phase 3: Gathering Aloe Leaves

These leaves aid root development and protect plants.
Phase 4: Preparing the Banana
Select a ripe banana, leaving the neck intact.
Strain cooled onion husk broth into a glass.
Soak the banana in the broth for 10 minutes.
Phase 5: Soil Preparation
Open a bag of soil and break apart clumps.

Phase 6: Planting the Banana Tree
Peel an aloe leaf and rub banana tip with juice.
Plant banana in prepared soil, securing it firmly.
Pour remaining onion decoction around banana.
Phase 7: Care and Growth

Cover pot with plastic to create a greenhouse effect.
Expect sprouting in 25-30 days.
Phase 8: Transplanting and Final Growth
Soak soil to ease removal of plant.
Carefully transplant to larger pot, covering roots.
Moisturize soil and continue regular watering.
Conclusion: After three months of care, enjoy your large banana tree, bringing a tropical feel to your garden. With proper watering, you’ll soon reap the rewards of your labor.
