Default Re: Help Sick banana tree browning and black

Some banana species are really difficult to grow indoors because they are especially attractive to spider mites. If you can take it outdoors, that would really help it out, but when it's indoors its best to just try and keep it as happy as possible and as long as it's alive, it usually come back with no problem in warmer weather.
Good luck with it! I havent lost any banana plants from spider mites yet, but aphids have been a huge problem and I've lost plenty of bananas from those!
