Default Re: Mussa sikkimensis leaves folding downwards

Hello again,

I have taken one banana plant out of the pot to see what's going on and i noticed the following.

Initially, in the pot, i have placed perlite in the bottom 10 cm of the pot in order to help it drain well. The plant had grown so much that the majority of the roots had grown into the perlite stones without any compost. I assume that explains the leaf problem. Does it sound logical to you?

I have repotted the pant into a larger pot using less perlite (about bottom 2cm of the bottom) so that the roots are i the compost. Did i do well?

Thanks...
