Cover Story: Musa haekkinenii, a compact wild banana species, shows promise for ornamental horticulture but its adaptive responses to environmental factors are not well understood. This study evaluates the morpho-physiological and anatomical responses of M. haekkinenii to different light intensities and irrigation water qualities over 210 days in a greenhouse. Results reveal that shaded conditions and reverse osmosis irrigation significantly enhance growth, pigment accumulation, and photosynthetic performance, while full sun and well water increase stress. Findings support microenvironmental management to improve ornamental quality and sustainability. View this paper
