Quick question! Planted this cluster of banana trees a few weeks ago, have noticed brown spots appearing on established leaves, as well as new ones. Can I chalk this up to just stress from planting? Or something I should be worried about? Should I chop off dead/dying leaves? Any insight appreciated!
Hello, I just purchased an ice-cream banana tree. I live in zone 9A, which to my understanding is great for these types of trees. It will probably stay potted for a while, due to living circumstances I cannot currently plant it in the ground. However, it will be outside on the back patio where it will get plenty of sun.
The 2-3 ft plant will arrive by the end of the week, along with a 12 inch well draining pot, and fertilizer.
And tips for a new banana tree owner? For example, what type of soil do you recommend? I know it should be well draining, but in your experience, which would you say works well?
Thank you! 🍌 🌴
I believe I am close to getting a flower in a pot. It is in a 30gallon grow bag under strong grow lights. I keep the room roughly 85 degrees. First picture was the tissue culture I got in June, second pic was August, third was January, and final picture was today. It’s about 4.5” at the base and 42” tall to leaf tip. Canopy has gotten very tight and leafs have slowly decreased in size although nothing has changed. Should be within the next few weeks to couple months if I had to guess. Very exciting!
Moved into a house and banana tree looks like this. What can I do to make it look better, help preserve it.
My banana plant collection is complete!!! Ive been wanting a Dwarf Cavendish, Blue Java, and finally Gros Michel for years now. Finally decided to pull the trigger and do it. Ive been waiting forever for this to be back in stock with Wellspring Gardens.
I may not have the land to plant them on now, but atleast I can grow them in pots and enjoy their journey. Will they ever fruit in pots? Maybe not. But one day I will have my own land and one day they will fruit.
We need help figuring out how to help our banana tree any suggestions would be appreciated. We are in Ohio.
I got this plant about 1-2 weeks ago and it’s been going through some transplant shock I think but the top leaves have been healthy just no new growth today I left it in the sun and it looks dehydrated what do I do? The soil is well draining and I water every other day
I’m a rookie on banana trees, added this musa basjoo from a local garden center to my landscaping yesterday. Was intrigued that it had several stems rather than just one, like I have seen before. Now that I think more about it, curious if I’m supposed to separate these off/thin it out and plant them as stand alones? Does it matter? Just curious! Thanks!
