Image: Step-by-Step Banana Sucker Planting Guide

The image is a high-resolution, landscape-oriented photographic collage arranged as a clear six-step sequence that visually explains how to plant a banana sucker in an outdoor garden. The collage is laid out in a 3 by 2 grid, with each panel showing a different stage of the planting process, captured in natural daylight with realistic colors and sharp detail. In the first panel, the focus is on soil preparation: a sturdy metal shovel is being pushed into rich, brown garden soil by a person wearing work boots and blue jeans. The soil appears loose and well-aerated, suggesting a suitable planting site. The second panel shows the banana sucker being prepared. A pair of hands holds the young banana plant at its base, revealing pale, healthy roots extending from the corm. A small knife is used to trim or clean the roots, emphasizing careful preparation before planting. The green pseudostem of the banana sucker looks fresh and firm, with a small emerging leaf. In the third panel, the sucker is placed into the hole. Gloved hands gently lower the plant into the center of the dug space, ensuring it is upright. The contrast between the bright green stem and the dark soil draws attention to correct positioning. The fourth panel illustrates backfilling: loose soil is being scooped and pressed around the base of the plant by bare hands, gradually filling the hole and stabilizing the sucker. In the fifth panel, the soil is firmly pressed down using gloved hands, ensuring good root-to-soil contact and eliminating air pockets. The banana plant now stands straight, with its young leaves extending upward. The final panel shows watering: a green watering can pours a steady stream of water onto the soil around the base of the plant. The water darkens the soil, signaling proper irrigation to help the banana sucker establish. Each panel includes a short instructional caption, such as digging, preparing, planting, backfilling, firming, and watering, making the image both educational and practical. Overall, the image conveys a calm, instructional gardening process, emphasizing care, sequence, and proper technique for successfully planting a banana sucker outdoors.
