Ravenala madagascariensis Sonn. is native to Madagascar, Africa and is commonly cultivated in regions such as Guangdong, Taiwan, Fujian, and Yunnan in China; Introduced from Cuba to China in 1962. The traveler banana is a typical tropical plant that prefers high temperature and high humidity ecological environment conditions; It is suitable for growing in various soils with soil fertility, depth, and good drainage, and can also grow well in gravel soils with sufficient moisture. Traveler bananas are propagated through division and sowing.

Ravenala madagascariensis Sonn. is suitable for planting and viewing in parks and scenic areas. It not only provides shade from the scorching sun, but also contains a lot of clear water in its leaves. As long as travelers make a small incision in this position, it is like turning on a "faucet", and the cool and sweet "spring water" will immediately flow out, which can quench their thirst. After a day, the cut wound can be completely healed.
