Default Re: Banana Plant with Black Spots

Thank you, lilraverboi. Your comment gives a good insight into what I can expect. In how far the root was damaged due to the drought in the summer, I cannot tell. The black spots came since the overnight stay at minus temperature. In the morning the plant was covered in snow too. What I'd like to know, though, is what I can do to help the plant? It needs first aid I'm sure. I read somewhere yesterday that black spots can also be a cancer and can be treated through chemicals. That is not a possibility for me, but if you have any tips (I'm new to banana-rearing), like whether I should cut off all the affected leaves, whether I should take a look at the root or let it dry or whatever, or similar, that would really help me. Thank you.

Regards,
rebecca
