Hey everybody!
Sorry to write a book and ask so many questions but i am nervous and want my plant to get better! I have a sdc and a ice cream and 2 dc in my greenhouse all about 1 1/2 yeas old, my first problem is my ice cream is very tall and is now loosing all of its leaves (they are breaking and bending like they are too heavy) now it only has 5 leaves and is about 5 foot. I tried to support them with small Velcro ties but it continues to loose leaves. second question is that all of my bananas loose leaves at the bottom (they get brown and die), I’m not sure if this is normal or not. I was thinking it was not getting enough light, but all my other plants coffee, orchids, corn plants, limes and pineapples aloe spearmint ect. are doing well. i get about 6 hours of full sun in the morning, temps are never below 65 humidity is always over 40% and I mist them every few days, they are in a mix of miracle grow cactus & palm soil and pearlite. I try to let the soil dry before watering and use espoma organic fertilizers. Thanks for any help!
