Default Re: Mussa sikkimensis leaves folding downwards

Hello Kosta,

Well, i have not moved them since i planted the seedlings (last year). So they have grown in the same sunny position (about 5-6 hours of direct sun per day. The plants are growing pretty fast i can tell. One new unfolded leaf every 10 days almost. They are nice and healthy and totally unfolded once they come out. Then they become like the others as you can see.

The older leaves become dry frou the outer parts first and inwards. I thought that is normal since they are dying so new ones can come out.

Do you think there is something wrong with it?

I have moved the pots in a more shaddy location and i will keep them about a week without water to see how things evolve.

I should also mention that i have notices small flies in the compost in the pot. Is that of any concern?

Any additional advice to my problem would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

PS. I am posting the links to the above photos again so you can view them in a larger scale
